Baltimore Ravens lose Poe the mascot to season-ending 'drumstick' injury

BALTIMORE -- The Baltimore Ravens are going to have to wing it with their mascot this season.

In a video released by the team, Ravens coach John Harbaugh "announced" Thursday that Poe is out for the season after being injured in a mascot vs. youth football team game.

"Unfortunately, he sustained a serious injury to his drumstick," Harbaugh said in the video, with his tongue firmly planted in his cheek.

Poe hurt his left knee during the halftime show of Saturday's preseason finale against the Washington Commanders. In what was supposed to be a friendly game, Poe was flushed out of the pocket and chased down from behind by a teenage player, who pushed the team's long-time mascot to the ground.
