Kaufusi done for season

The Ravens have suffered their first serious injury of training camp.

Rookie defensive end Bronson Kaufusi broke his ankle during Thursday’s practice when a teammate fell into his leg, and the third-round pick is expected to miss the entire season.

The injury happened during a passing play where Kaufusi was engaged in a block with an offensive lineman. As he pushed the blocker into the backfield, a teammate fell into his leg and collapsed the ankle. He was carted off the field. Kaufusi was expected to make an immediate impact as a pass rusher, but the Ravens are deep enough at the defensive end position to absorb the loss. They still have Brent Urban, Lawrence Guy and Kapron Lewis-Moore, who have all been solid in training camp. Guy started six games last year....http://www.baltimoreravens.com/news/article-1/Rookie-Bronson-Kaufusi-Breaks-Ankle-Done-For-Season/c38a759e-4029-49ba-aac2-920056d9db6a

 

This is tough

It's brutal losing a high draft pick, however, Kaufusi is a guy who probably needed a development/redshirt year in a pro weight room and film room. He has a great frame and skill set, but he'll come back next year as a mountain of a man. And luckily, this is a broken ankle and not a torn ACL. He may miss the season, but he should be back to full strength well before any offseason workouts.

 

In short, I am not sure if we would have gotten much production out of him this season anyways. But I love this kid's long-term potential.

Agree with that assessment.
