Summary
Danny Pinter was carted off after suffering a right leg injury in Wednesday’s practice, and NFL Network reported the Ravens center tore his patellar tendon.
Jesse Minter did not confirm the diagnosis but said the seventh-year lineman will miss an extended period, a major setback for a player lined up to replace departed starter Tyler Linderbaum.
Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic now remain in the mix for Baltimore’s starting center job, with Minter saying the position is probably still a competition over the next couple of weeks.
The injury came during joint practices with Minnesota ahead of Saturday’s preseason game, when neither team was planning to play its starters.
