Ravens lose Ar'Darius Washington for the season.

Don't they have Starks and Hamilton as the presumed starters? 

 

Unless they were planning on mixing in 3 safeties a lot on passing downs

Major hit for that defense.

 

Michael Pierce also just retired in March .... another big big loss in the run defense.

Same feeling. We have had our share of injuries 

[H2o]

Tough break. Hope he makes a full recovery.

Very sad for Washington. 
 

F*ck the Ravens. 
 

Go Beels!

[Mr. WEO]

This will devastate the 31st ranked passing D… 

[Big Blitz]

Nothing good happens starting right now until week 1.

Washington would essentially be their nickel/dime except in packages where Hamilton did that role when Washington would play safety. Essentially his versatility helps them use Hamilton more as a chess piece without having to tip their hand as to what defense they are in. 

 

His loss isn't terminal, but it isn't nothing.

Definitely harms their depth at the position.  Hate to see  any player injured. He was a very good player in college

[MJS]

They'll be fine.

Didn’t we lose Tre White for the playoffs when he was at his peak?

I couldn’t agree more on not praying for injuries.  As much as I hated in days gone by, I never could agree with wanting Brady to get hurt.

Losing a player like Ar'Darius Washington is a big blow for the season. Hope they can find a way to adjust and keep pushing forward.

[Fleezoid]

Well, if he showed up conditioned to the conditioning drills, this may not have happened. Isn't this the normal expectation?

Achilles injuries seem to have become the new ACL of the modern athlete. One could say they’ve become a veritable Achilles heel. 

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Torn achilles is a bummer. That’s a tough one professionally but also personally. Dunno about him but having little kids and a torn Achilles is probably tough.

Injuries are the worst part of football (any sport really) Ravens fans seem to be very upset about this as they think very highly of him. Sad to see this happen in the off-season. I always wonder are Achilles tears like this are just "freak" occurrences or is this something that was kind of just bound to happen due to wear and tear?
