Injury News: How a Key Setback Shakes Up Betting Lines Overnight

The Ravens entered August expecting stability from their veterans, but that picture changed quickly when fullback Patrick Ricard went down with a calf injury in mid-month. Ricard has been a fixture in Baltimore’s offense for years, known as a reliable starter who helps set the tone in short-yardage and blocking situations. News of Ricard’s calf injury spread quickly, and best offshore sportsbooks like those listed on PokerScout were already adjusting Baltimore’s outlook in futures markets, a reminder of how these markets often move faster and offer broader options than domestic books. For fans, the loss cuts deeper than the odds alone suggest, touching the foundation of how Baltimore builds its offense.
