Danny Pinter torn patella tendon: what happened
Ravens center Danny Pinter suffered a torn patella tendon during joint practice with the Minnesota Vikings, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and NFL Network's Mike Garafolo. Pinter was carted off the field with a brace on his right leg after appearing to get rolled up on, per The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec.
This is a serious injury that almost certainly ends Pinter's season.
What Pinter's injury means for Baltimore's depth chart
Pinter had been working with the first-team offense and leading the Ravens' center competition through training camp, per Garafolo. His loss leaves a hole at a position Baltimore was already sorting out.
The Ravens need to find a starter at center now. Watch the waiver wire and any roster moves Baltimore makes in the coming days, because whoever steps in will have immediate starting value in fantasy leagues that reward offensive linemen, and broader relevance as the blocking anchor for the Ravens' backfield.
