Sypniewski done for season
Ravens backup tight end Quinn Sypniewski is out for the season with a torn knee ligament, coach John Harbaugh said after the team's first mandatory minicamp practice today.
According to Harbaugh, Sypniewski had surgery to repair the ligament, which tore off the bone. His recovery will take between six to nine months.
"It looks like now we’re not going to have him back," Harbaugh said.
Another backup tight end, Daniel Wilcox, did not practice because he is recovering from last season's injuries.

Uh-oh! Looks like we're heading into the season a little shallow in the TE department. Were there no decent TE's in last month's draft worth selecting? We know about the TE injury problems then.

Can somebody please tell me why the Ravens didn't make a run for Joey Haynos when he was undrafted.He was better than some ofthe TE's we actually carried on the roster last year,Geez.He would have been an excellent fit here.
