Ravens' Center Plans Collide with Injury as Pinter Tears Patella Tendon

During a joint practice with the Vikings, Ravens center Danny Pinter suffered a torn patella tendon, likely ending his season and reshaping Baltimore’s center job, with Ethan Pocic now the expected starter after his July arrival and Tyler Linderbaum’s departure leaving a void. The Ravens have added John Simpson and drafted Olaivavega Ioane to bolster the interior, and Jovaughn Gwyn could start if Pocic isn’t ready. Separately, Browns EDGE Alex Wright suffered a leg injury, adding to AFC North depth concerns as teams weigh Clowney or Za’Darius Smith options.
