Ravens lose LT Stanley to leg injury


Baltimore Ravens left tackle Ronnie Stanley was taken off the field on a cart in Sunday’s home game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Stanley had an air cast on his left leg as he departed in the final minutes of the first quarter with the game tied 7-7.

The injury comes two days after the 2019 All-Pro signed a five-year contract extension worth a reported $98.75 million, including a $22.5 million signing bonus.

Stanley, 26, was hurt on a play in which quarterback Lamar Jackson was under heavy pressure. He collided with and fell backward over Steelers linebacker T.J. Watt.

Stanley was making his 62nd start since the Ravens selected him with the No. 6 overall pick in the 2016 NFL Draft.
