Ravens HC John Harbaugh gives update on C Bradley Bozeman

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh gave an update on center Bradley Bozeman, who did not play in Week 17

The Baltimore Ravens lost to the Los Angeles Rams in Week 17 by the final score of 20-19 to bring their record to 8-8 on the season.  It was a hard fought game until the end, but right before kickoff, the team had some unfortunate news.  Center Bradley Bozeman wasn’t out with the offense in pregame warmups, and Trystan Colon ended up getting the start in place of the fourth-year player..

Baltimore’s offense played decently well, but it could’ve done better against Los Angeles defensive lineman Aaron Donald if Bozeman played.  It was revealed by Ravens head coach John Harbaugh during the postgame press conference that Bozeman was ill.

“That’s what happened. He was very sick, and we didn’t have a chance to make a roster move when it was determined he wasn’t going to be able to start. He was available to us in an emergency, but he was not able to play right at the last moment there.”

Hopefully Bozeman is good to go for the final game of the regular season in Week 18 against the Pittsburgh Steelers. If the Ravens are to have any chance at making the playoffs, they first have to take care of Pittsburgh next week, and having Bozeman for that game would be extremely helpful.
