Ravens TE Nick Boyle Suffers Season-Ending Knee Injury

Nov 16, 2020 8:57 AM

Nick Boyle suffered a season-ending left knee injury in the third quarter of the Baltimore Ravens 23-17 loss at the New England Patriots on Sunday night.

After making a 4-yard catch, the tight end took a direct hit on his left leg, causing it to bend inward.

Patriots linebacker Terez Hall's right shoulder went right into the side of Boyle's knee, and both Ravens and Patriots players immediately signaled for trainers to come out onto the field.

"Nick is our brother," Lamar Jackson said. "We were hoping he would just be out for the game at least. But [we're] just finding out he's out for the season. I don't even know what to say. [I'm] ticked off."

Lamar Jackson: Defenses Are Calling Out Ravens' Plays

Nov 13, 2020 11:53 AM

Lamar Jackson believes the Baltimore Ravens have become too predictable on offense.

On "The Rich Eisen Show," Jackson said teams know what the Ravens are going to run on offense when they line up.

"They're calling out our plays, stuff like that," the quarterback said. "They know what we're doing. Sometimes stuff won't go our way if they're beating us to the punch."

The Ravens are 6-2 but haven't been nearly as explosive on offense.

"We had our ups that first week and then we had our downs," said Jackson, who ranks 27th in the NFL with 1,513 passing yards. "Usually we're a high-level offense. But it's been all right. It's not where we want to be. We're still winning, so it's all right, I guess."
