[News] Reports: Breshad Perriman Partially Tears ACL

[BmoreBird22]

I love how people are getting mad at the FO for an injury. I'm sure they told Perriman to tear his ACL in the opposite knee and I'm sure they knew he'd suffer two knee injuries in opposite knees with no injury history to speak of. 

[Nick04263]

Well. The only positive I see assuming he is out for the season is it is best to happen now. We have a lot of receivers trying to make this team and not one more of them get a better chance and additional snaps to prove it. Call me an optimist.

[The Negotiator]

Just feel really bad for this young man. Get well and get right, wish you a speedy recovery.

[pocket]

No he didn't

[The Negotiator]

Time to call the playmaker AKA Anquan Boldin!!! Bring him back Oz!

[Flamengo1265]

My prediction: Perriman will never play a down for the Ravens.

He DOES have a history - http://www.orlandosentinel.com/sports/ucf-knights/os-ucf-breshad-perriman-nfl-draft-0430-20150429-story.html

Try to read it all the way through. This affected him as an adolescent and it is a condition, not an injury. OS probably only affects adolescents because of puberty and growth spurts, but it affects the patellar tendon, not ligaments, anyway.

This story also talks about it during middle school mostly, it sounds like. So again, no college injury history to speak of. 

[GageRage]

Time to drop his contract free up some more money and sign someone with less of an injury streak, 2 years in a row is never the best look if you haven't even made it through OTA's.

Junk rhetoric comparing the two......It's like saying you are going to get lung cancer because you had the measels or pneumonia as a kid....

[OzzieBisciotti]

I posted that Orlando Stentinel article a while back too when we drafted him- Oz thought we could replace Torrey with this guy- smh... He can't even get on the field and see what happened to our offense when Torrey left. Speaking of not being able to draft well, we took a softie of a left tackle- check this out- he's highly motivated and doing well (another mistake by Oz):

http://www.sun-sentinel.com/sports/miami-dolphins/fl-dolphins-main-0608-20160607-story.html

all these poor drafts (bad free agent signings ie Monroe way too much $$) have left us in a terrible spot- stop giving Bama players a chance (Richardson - two teams have already passed on him), and lets start to draft better and get younger w/ free agent signings- we are the worst at drafting safeties and tight ends, and we seem to forget about drafting corners on draft day.

The team down South, about 45 -min away, has a rock star team with a lot of studs. We have bad cap management and a lot of duds.

He was a "risk" because of his injury history. Well it's crap 7, clear the line. Whenever something bad happens you have to blame the leader. It's time for Ozzie to retire and let Eric DeCosta make the decisions.

He missed like three total games in three years in college, so...

Also, Eric DeCosta learned from who? Oh, right, Ozzie. So if we replace Ozzie with DeCosta, we'll basically have... Ozzie.

time to move on from them both-

[OzzieBisciotti]

Elam, Perriman? Perriman who? He sees the hospital bed more than he sees grass

[OzzieBisciotti]

Folks need to put this in its proper perspective:  Perriman isn't at fault here and I am sure he must be absolutely devastated.  He injured his right knee in his first year, he lost one of his best friends in Tray Walker, and by his own admission he said he was in "a dark place" after those two events, now his Dad is recuperating from a very debilitating stoke and currently he has sustained an injury to his left knee.  I would think a little compassion is due here as I think he has had enough to deal with without folks taking their frustration out on him.   How about a little moral support for the guy?  It isn't his fault.  There are other WR's out there, plus our own.  My goodness,  c'mon people.

We're not blaming Perriman - we're blaming Oz and DaCosta

[OzzieBisciotti]

Well thanks for the straight, uncut dope. Rather hear this then the "knee bruise"

That would've been Harb's interpretation - lol

[OzzieBisciotti]

Two years and your first round pick can't see the field. When a Wr gets hurt running around in shorts, it's time to label him a bust. Wish Ravens didn't pass on Dorsett, Funchess and DGB for this guy. He and Campanero are stealing money from the Ravens and opportunities from others at this point. They have NFL talent , but do not have NFL bodies. I don't trust either of them to hold up in a 16 game season.

Let's not forget about Pitta too

[OzzieBisciotti]

For Pete's sake not again!
What is it with the Ravens and WR's?
We let the best one we ever drafted walk for little more than we were offering after his rookie contract. And the other that the Ravens Draft are injury prone.

So frustrating.

I miss Torrey too- I followed him from MD, and it's one of the reasons I became stronger fan of the Ravens. Since Oz decided to let him walk, I can't imagine no one else wanted him to leave, out team has just gone south- we miss his plays, his speed and his leadership. Since he left, and since this team has stunk over the past couple of years, my family is happier on Sundays because now I spend time with them- no sense in wasting 3 hrs of my time getting frustrated at what this team has become- draft good character players my a_ _. Ray Rice was supposed to be good character and we later found out how good his left hook was. To be honest, when Torrey left and seeing all the bad FA/ Draft decisions over the yeas, a part of me left as well. The team down the road, which I grew up with, looks pretty tight though even though the owner is the worst in the league (he's improving though).

Perriman, DCody, S Kindle- easily worst 3 picks in Ravens history, I kinda figured this guy would never see the field for the Ravens, Never, Never, Ever, draft a WR in the top 2 rounds , I'm so disgusted with this news ..

You forgot Elam.

yeah, he did forget Elam- that was pretty bad too

[OzzieBisciotti]

Imagine if Perriman gets hit:

Balt Sun: The injury apparently occurred after Perriman caught a pass on a back shoulder fade during one of the drills, went down without any contact and continued to practice.

Thats two knees in less than a year for a player who hasn't played one game. If he injures himself without even getting hit, imagine the injuries he'll get when does get hit- Honestly, this young man deserves better, and like Pitta, I hope he battles through it. We need to get someone else though to start picking during drafts- I think now it's a given, esp after we took a soft left tackle and the other tackle in Miami is really impressing everyone- Oz can read the twitter feeds on prospects all day, it doesn't take a genius to do that, but remember, we were all kids in college once, and we all did stupid things..

The MRI showed a possible torn meniscus, which for college and professional athletes usually results in having the meniscus reattached and requires a lengthy rehabilitation period.

Maryland basketball player Dion Wiley sustained a torn meniscus prior to the opening of the 2015-16 season. Wiley missed the entire season and only recently was cleared to resume workouts.

Kendall Fuller tore his meniscus in the spring, played three games on it, had surgery and then participated in OTA's.

Yeah, I hate it when the Ravens draft guys with potential, and he gets injured. Curse you Ozzie for letting Perriman get injured again.

So, I just want to get this straight-

You're ripping Oz and company for drafting a player that they had no way of knowing would tear ligaments, but you're mad they didn't draft Tunsil who never played a full season at Ole Miss? Then, you call Stanley soft, even though he started every game of his career without injury? 

People on here are just.... I don't understand it.

[ellicottraven]

Oh it just sucks for both the Ravens and especially Perriman. I just feel so bad for the kid. Nobody deserves it frankly. Especially not him at this point in his career. Very sad turn of events.

The team down South, about 45 -min away, has a rock star team with a lot of studs. We have bad cap management and a lot of duds.

1. I read the article about Perriman and all it says is he had knee pains as a kid, because, probably caused by Osgood-Schlatter disease. And his dad, a former NFL receiver has knee issues.
2. Is there any reason why you called Stanley soft? All you did was posted an article that talks about how Tunsil, a professional athlete, is athletic and how he will probably move to playing guard.
3. Monroe - Are we blaming his injuries on Ozzie too?
4. Richardson - Low risk, high reward. I doubt he will make the team but if he does the Ravens have a cheap veteran running back and if doesn't then he will be cut
5. I'll give you the safety thing, but there is only about 20 good safeties in the NFL and the other 44 starters are pretty replaceable. And sure they could draft corners in earlier rounds but right now they seem to have two good starting corners, and there are a bunch of teams that can't say that. I'm not touching the tight end comment, because it doesn't make any sense.
6. Is there a new team in Virginia, that I'm not aware of? Seriously though, who are these rock stars you are talking about? They have some good weapons in Garcon, Jackson, and Reed. And they spent a lot of money to sign Norman, but outside of him and Kerrigan there isn't much to talk about, when it comes to their defense. Let's talk when the Redskins beat a team with a winning record.

Just brutal. Now the BYU DL, who was drafted instead of Buckner, is out until training camp, if not longer. If things don't improve this year there will be major changes in the FO in '17.

[Maryland]

I hope he doesn't read the comments in this thread. He'll be headed right back to that "dark place" he mentioned last year.

Wish him the best. Hope he proves the doubters wrong and beats the odds by making a comeback in 2017.
