Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said: "I don't think it's severe at all. They're in the process of getting it checked out with the doctors.

"I haven't heard back on that report yet. It was in the lower leg, I think. I'm optimistic that it's gonna be okay. I feel bad for the situation.

"[I am] Happy that he's okay. Very grateful that he's okay and not hurt worse. I mean, anything can happen, and just a tough situation."
