Ravens’ gamble on Jaire Alexander already backfiring as nightmare scenario unfolds

Everyone knew that when the Baltimore Ravens signed cornerback Jaire Alexander to a one-year $4 million deal, they were getting both a potential steal and taking a gamble. Now, with just two weeks until the NFL regular season, it looks like the latter is unfolding.

On Monday, Head Coach John Harbaugh revealed to the media that Alexander has been dealing with a knee issue that has plagued him over the past couple of seasons.

“He had something to take care of that knee. You do some things to help it from a health standpoint,” Harbaugh said.
