Head Coach John Harbaugh gave injury updates on three of the team’s top receiving threats Monday morning, clearing up some confusion and giving an outlook on their possible returns.
He spoke about rookie wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee), veteran wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. (back) and tight end Crockett Gillmore (calf).
Perriman: ‘All-Time Slowest’ Healing PCL
Harbaugh stated for the first time exactly what Perriman’s knee injury entails. It’s a strained posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which he suffered on the first day of training camp, July 30.
“He’s had probably one of the all-time slowest healing strained PCLs ever,” Harbaugh said.
