This isn't an exaggeration. Talk to anyone who loves the Baltimore Ravens. You won't find anyone who doesn't spend some of their pregame routine offering thoughts or prayers toward team safety.
No one wants injuries to occur, but sadly, we know they're unavoidable. It isn't our favorite part of the game, but they are a part of the game nonetheless.
Some say football is a contact sport. That isn't true. Football is a collision sport, and sometimes, unfortunate things happen. This time, however, on a routine play in coverage during Baltimore's first preseason game, sixth-round draft choice Bilhal Kone suffered a knee injury.
It wasn't fun to watch. He was carted off with an air cast on his leg. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed he'll miss the entire season with ligament damage but shared the details of a moment he shared with the young Raven.
First-year star Malaki Starks chimed in by stating the following:
For Starks, this is personal. He and Kone are close. They even trained together before being drafted, but you could see similar emotions on the faces of other teammates. They haven't known the young star long, but anyone can see a bond has already been built. This is a Ravens team and community that loves each other and prays for one another.
Before joining the Ravens, Kone played two seasons for the Western Michigan Broncos, totaling 25 games. He stacked up 112 tackles, two interceptions, and 17 pass breakups.
This delays his journey toward his dreams of NFL stardom, but as Coach Harbaugh says, the sun will come up tomorrow. Here's to seeing him back on the field next season.
