The Baltimore Ravens announced they will place rookie wide receiver Ja'Kobi Lane on injured reserve after he fractured his wrist in the season-opening win over the Indianapolis Colts. Head coach Jesse Minter disclosed the move at a Wednesday press conference. Lane requires surgery to address the wrist fracture and will miss at least four games during his recovery.
In the season opener, Lane had one catch for 11 yards and another catch for a touchdown on a play that was wiped out by a penalty. The Ravens will sign Chris Moore off the practice squad to add depth to the receiver group.
Zay Flowers remains day-to-day with a hamstring injury that knocked him out of the Colts game, per Yahoo NFL reporting.
