After missing his entire rookie season with a right knee injury, Ravens wide receiver Breshad Perriman has reportedly sustained a serious injury to his left one.
As first reported by ESPN, the 2015 first-round pick suffered a partially-torn anterior cruciate ligament during the final week of organized team activities. Perriman will visit Dr. James Andrews on Monday to determine whether he needs season-ending surgery.
Perriman participated in Tuesday’s OTA open to media and had been running at full speed, sprinting right past Baltimore defensive backs on several occasions during the practice. However, the injury occurred in one of the remaining days closed to the media.
The 22-year-old said last month he felt “like a kid in a candy store” being back on the football field after his lost rookie year and a difficult offseason in which his father — former NFL wideout Brett Perriman — nearly died from a brain aneurysm.
The Central Florida product sustained a partially-torn posterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on the first full-squad day of training camp last summer and then experienced a setback after briefly returning to practice in late September. He was placed on season-ending injured reserve on Nov. 17.
The Ravens were hoping that the return of Perriman coupled with the free-agent addition of veteran Mike Wallace would add much-needed speed to a passing game lacking explosiveness in 2015.

Right Now in Baltimore
The Ravens go on the clock with Pick 14 and then move to 'Super Bowl' time
The purple land of hopes and expectations begins on Thursday night with the NFL Draft. Luke Jones and Nestor get you ready for a myriad of draft possibilities and outcomes for Eric DeCosta and the Baltimore Ravens under rookie head coach Jesse Minter. We'll be picking and opining all weekend as spring hopes remain eternal in Owings Mills.
When will the frozen Orioles bats thaw this spring?
Sure, it's not the lineup that manager Craig Albernaz envisioned back in Sarasota in February but the Orioles need to figure out how to stop striking out and start hitting with runners in scoring position. Nestor Aparicio and Luke Jones discussed the Birds' struggles, including a five-game losing streak and scuffling through Kansas City waiting for the roster to get healthier and more productive.
Who can Orioles really count on to "pitch" in as innings add up?
Is there an "ace" in the starting rotation deck for the Baltimore Orioles? Sure, we all believed that Trevor Rogers and Kyle Bradish would make it look easy and that Shane Baz would pitch to his contract and Chris Bassitt would stabilize the staff and Zach Eflin...and then the season began. Luke Jones and Nestor discuss the Birds' pitching depth and scraping by on any win possible in Kansas City.
