Ja'Kobi Lane's promising rookie season may be on ice, as his NFL debut ended early with a wrist injury.
Lane suffered his injury later in that first half and was ruled out at halftime.
It's a letdown for a rookie who entered the season with sky-high promise and had stepped into the No. 3 receiving spot in the Ravens' offense. After a training camp and preseason filled with highlights, Lane was his teammates' prediction for breakout player of the year,
After the game, Head Coach Jesse Minter didn't have an update on Lane's status.
NFL Network's Mike Garafolo reported that the initial diagnosis is a fractured wrist. Ian Rapoport reports that Lane is expected to miss several weeks.
The injury left the Ravens' offense further short-handed as Zay Flowers also left the game early with a hamstring injury after he exploded for a career-high 150 yards and a touchdown in the first half.
That left Rashod Bateman, LaJohntay Wester and veteran Chris Moore as the Ravens' three wide receivers in the second half of the Ravens' 41-23 win over the Indianapolis Colts.
Moore had a big game, helping to set up a second-half touchdown with a 53-yard catch. It was his longest catch since 2021 and longer than any reception he had in his first five-year stint with the Ravens (2016-2020).
Lane had a 4-yard touchdown catch nullified in the first half by a holding penalty on center Jovaughn Gwyn. Lane then caught an 11-yard pass over the middle and was targeted on fourth down near the goal line, but the pass was out of his reach.
