The Baltimore Ravens secondary took a significant hit on Thursday after head coach John Harbaugh announced that star nickelback Tavon Young is expected to miss the entire 2019 season due to a neck injury.

Young suffered the injury in practice and did not suit up in the Ravens' second preseason exhibition of the summer. As Harbaugh describes it, Young is dealing with a "disc issue" in his neck.

"Tavon has a more serious issue than we thought," Harbaugh said following Baltimore's 26-13 win over the Packers on Thursday, via the team website. "He has a neck issue. Doctors can explain it, but it's a disc issue. That's a serious injury. He could be out for the remainder of the season. We'll know soon, but it doesn't look good for Tavon."

 

That is a big loss.

Yes, big loss, great slot cover man. I begged off having the surgery on the neck discs, 50-50 it works out. I hope he has better luck.

Yup...this hurts. Tavon was just coming in to his own. We have the depth to fill his position but no one as good as he was.
