According to ESPN’s Jamison Hensley and Jeremy Fowler, Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely suffered a fracture in his foot on July 29.
The injury is expected to keep Likely out from training camp. Fortunately, Likely may be available for their Week 1 opener when the Ravens face the Buffalo Bills at Highmark Stadium on Sept. 7.
With Likely out, the Ravens will turn to Charlie Kolar as their No. 2 tight end behind Mark Andrews as the team boasts the deepest tight end unit in the NFL.
Both Kolar and
Likely were drafted in 2022, but have been used vastly different in the Ravens’ offense. Kolar’s production’s derived from blocking, while Likely’s been a receiving target for Lamar Jackson. That isn’t to say Kolar cannot be a receiving threat, as he’s caught 20 passes for 267 yards and two touchdowns.
This season is significant for Likely — in fact all three tight ends, as each are in the final year of their contracts.
