Cornerback Tavon Young tears ACL
When it happened, it seemed like just some minor contact, but after further evaluation, it has been revealed that second-year Ravens cornerback Tavon Young has torn his ACL in an OTA practice.
Young attempted to make an interception in practice and ran into a teammate during a Thursday practice and hit his knee. He was helped off the field, and after the contact, it was initially believed he hit his head, which was why trainers wanted him to stay on the ground. But now his season is almost certainly done.
Young turned into a starter as a rookie. He appeared in all 16 games and played very well in 11 starts. Still, the Ravens choose to load up their depth in a relatively weak secondary. That decision will pay off now. The Ravens signed free agent Brandon Carr, drafted Marlon Humphrey in the first round and so far in OTA’s 2016 sixth round pick Maurice Canady has looked much improved. Along with Jimmy Smith, the Ravens still have veteran Kyle Arrington on their roster and brought Lardarius Webb back.
