Ravens' Likely Out Preseason With Foot Fracture

Baltimore Ravens tight end Isaiah Likely suffered a small foot fracture during a training camp practice, initially leading to fears of a long-term absence. The injury occurred during a one-on-one drill, and Likely was carted off the field, but further evaluation suggests he could return by Week 1 if his recovery progresses well. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Likely will miss the remainder of the preseason, with Mark Andrews and other tight ends expected to take on larger roles in the meantime. Likely is coming off a career-best 2024 season with 42 receptions, 477 yards, and six touchdowns. The Ravens are relieved the injury is not season-ending and will closely monitor his recovery to ensure he is available for the season opener against the Bills. The team is emphasizing a cautious approach to avoid lingering issues.
