Ross tears Achilles during conditioning test
New Baltimore Ravens cornerback Aaron Ross tore his Achilles during his conditioning test today, according to Jeff Zrebiec. Ross was signed to bring a veteran presence to the Ravens secondary and has spent most of his career with the New York Giants. Ross won two Super Bowls with the Giants and was a key player for both of them. Ross missed most of last season with a back injury and only recorded four tackles and one interception.
Achilles take a long time to recover from and Ross is likely done for the season. The Ravens still have plenty of depth in the secondary and a lot of young players that are ready to step up.
Update: Ravens have put Ross on injured reserve. Ross’ season is over.
Here is the tweet from Zrebiec.
