WATCH: Former Baltimore TE Dennis Pitta helps Ravens mascot Poe prepare for 2024 season

Former Baltimore TE Dennis Pitta helps Ravens mascot Poe prepare for 2024 season

The Ravens spent five weeks of training camp and three preseason games preparing for a massive 2024 regular season, and their mascot, Poe, wasn’t that far behind.

Since hatching in 1998, Poe and the Ravens have gone together like crab cakes and football! · Other than football, Poe’s favorite kind of ball is a goofball.

The Ravens selected Dennis Pitta in the fourth round of the 2010 NFL draft. Pitta suffered a hip injury in 2013 and was in and out of the lineup until 2016, when he set a career-high in receiving yards.

Another injury ended Pitta’s playing career in 2017, but he’s stayed a fixture in Baltimore and recently did his part to ensure POE was ready for the regular season.

In this hilarious video from Levy’s Restaurant, Pitta helps Poe preparing for the season by watching Poe perform some drills on the field and providing a scouting report at the end as Pitta eats some “ravenous chicken tenders.

Levy, the leading food, beverage and hospitality brand in sports, celebrates the return of football with a flavor-packed campaign featuring some of the game’s top talent training for greatness in unexpected ways. From the gridiron to the grill, this hits taste buds right on the numbers.

When initially unveiled, Poe was one of three costumed mascots, all raven brothers named “Edgar,” “Allan,” and “Poe.” Because the Baltimore Ravens were named after the poem “The Raven” by Baltimore resident Edgar Allan Poe, it was natural that the team name their mascots after Poe himself.

Poe, the Baltimore Ravens mascot, has been recognized as an honorary Ed Block Courage Award winner for the 2022 season. Poe suffered a torn ACL in a youth football game during halftime of the Ravens’ final preseason contest. The mascot had to be carted off the field, with some not believing it was real at first.

While Poe was out, the Ravens called upon their former mascots Edgar and Allan — who had been retired in 2008 — to take over for him while he recovered. In Week 17, Poe made his miraculous return as the one and only mascot of the Ravens.

Congratulations to Poe for a unique achievement in mascot history.

Ravens announce familiar replacements for injured mascot Poe

The Baltimore Ravens on Friday announced two replacements for mascot Poe, who suffered a “serious injury to his drumstick.”

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Washington Commanders to end the 2022 preseason in August, extending their preseason winning streak to 23 games. During halftime, the team’s mascot Poe suffered a “serious injury to his drumstick” during a mascot vs. youth football game that would force him to miss the 2022 season.

Baltimore’s search for Poe’s replacement ended on Friday, when the team announced that two familiar faces would take over for the mascot. The Ravens social media accounts posted a video that showed Edgar and Allan signing a one-year deal to be the team’s 2022 mascots. Executive Vice President and General Manager Eric DeCosta offered the contract to the duo after they spent 14 years in retirement.

“The big thing that I want you guys {Edgar and Allan} to understand is this is a major commitment on our part as an organization. This position is really important, obviously, and we’ve determined that you two guys are really the two best guys for this position.”

DeCosta said the deal would be worth a year’s worth of bird seed, along with nest expenses. Edgar and Allan will be introduced before Sunday’s home opener against the Miami Dolphins, according to the Ravens website.

Ravens HC John Harbaugh provides devastating injury update on mascot Poe

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh provided an injury update on the team’s mascot Poe

The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Washington Commanders on Saturday night, extending their preseason winning streak to 23 games. The team saw players leave the game with injuries, which is not uncommon during preseason. However, one of the injuries that occurred wasn’t to a player, but to the team’s mascot, Poe.

During halftime, Poe was injured during a mascot vs. youth football game in which mascots competed against the youth football players. Poe was tackled  and stayed down on the turf, causing trainers to come out and check on him. He was then carted off of the field, leaving many to speculate the worst.

On Thursday, an update was given on Poe both by Adam Schefter of ESPN as well as Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh. Schefter revealed that Poe suffered a “season-ending injury”, while Harbaugh told reporters that Poe would be placed on injured reserve due to a “serious injury to his drumstick.” Harbaugh also added that Poe would miss the 2022 season.

Many were waiting for an update on Poe’s condition, although the news wasn’t positive like people were hoping. His injury made national waves when it occurred, and after the news was announced there was a flood of well wishes for the mascot.

During halftime, Baltimore’s mascot Poe got injured during a mascot vs. youth football game. He had to be carted off of the field, and many have awaited updates the mascot’s status. On Sunday, the team posted a photo of Poe with an ice pack on his knee, saying they’ll continue to share updates on the situation.

While it’s unclear what the actual injury Poe suffered was, the mascot had to be carted off of the field after being tackled during the halftime game. Hopefully the ailment isn’t serious and he’ll be able to return to action in no time.

Poe did return in the second half of the game, sparking speculation that a new person was behind the costume.

The Baltimore Ravens picked up a 17-15 win over the Washington Commanders in Week 3 of the 2022 preseason, extending their exhibition winning streak to 23-straight games. Baltimore unfortunately had a couple of injuries throughout the contest, including one to their mascot, Poe.

The mascot was tended to by trainers, and later Poe returned to the field, presumably with a different person in the costume. It’s unclear how serious the injury is, and it’s possible an update is released when information becomes available.

Incredibly, Poe, the Ravens’ mascot suffered an apparent torn ACL during a halftime game. Poe was carted off the field for treatment.

No word on what the team will do if Poe has to go on IR. The Ravens may just have to wing it.
