Ravens lose Boldin for balance of the regular season

To win the AFC North and nail down a bye and at least one playoff game at home, the Ravens need only to beat the Browns at home on Saturday and the Bengals in Cincinnati next Sunday.

If the Ravens are going to do it, they’ll need to do it without receiver Anquan Boldin.

Coach John Harbaugh said Thursday that receiver Anquan Boldin will miss the next two games, after surgery to repair a torn meniscus.

“Anquan Boldin is getting surgery this afternoon,” Harbaugh said, via Aaron Wilson of the Carroll County Times. “He’s got a slight tear in his meniscus. It flapped up on him, I think it was Tuesday night after the walkthrough. He’s going to have to get it repaired.

“It’s a two-week thing. It’s two weeks and he’ll be back for the playoffs, whatever round we happen to play in. It will be a little bit tighter if we have to play in the first round.”

And the door opens ever so slightly....

that's a big loss IMO

yes but by the sounds of it, if the ratbirds get the BYE week in the playoffs he will be back in time for that.

Well, the Ravens tried their best to give the game away, but the Browns were having none of it.
