Recommended Posts

The Ravens’ already beleaguered defense suffered another blow on Wednesday.

Defensive tackle Michael Pierce has been placed on injured reserve, the team announced. The nine-year veteran will miss at least the next four games.

Pierce, 31, suffered a calf injury in Baltimore’s loss to the Browns on Sunday in Cleveland.

Already, Baltimore is dealing with several injuries along its defensive front. Brent Urban suffered a concussion on Sunday and defensive tackle Travis Jones is dealing with an ankle injury.

Pierce, who also missed the Ravens’ Week 4 win over the Buffalo Bills with a shoulder injury, has 15 tackles and one sack through seven games while playing behind Jones in the rotation.

On Monday, the Ravens signed veteran nose tackle Josh Tupou, who spent much of the summer in Baltimore, to the practice squad. He could be a game-day elevation Sunday against the Denver Broncos at M&T Bank Stadium.
