Previously Harbaugh already confirmed that Bateman would be back in September. The coach clearly stated a day earlier that the rookie would miss “weeks not months.”
Injuries at the wide receiver position for the Ravens have continued to add up during training camp. Others having missed time include Marquise Brown, Miles Boykin and Deon Cain.
Bateman’s injury occurred on Tuesday while running a route during practice. He limped off the field reportedly grabbing the inside of his upper leg.
