Baltimore Ravens second-year wide receiver Rashod Bateman has decided to undergo season-ending surgery to repair a Lisfranc injury in his foot.
“We support him on that and understand what he’s doing,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Thursday.
Bateman, 22, ends the season with 15 catches for 285 yards and two touchdowns in six games (five starts). Bateman had 46 catches for 515 yards and a TD in his rookie season of 2021.
Bateman aggravated the injury in Baltimore’s Week 8 game against Tampa Bay. He played just 13 snaps and was ruled out after halftime.
Harbaugh announced earlier this week that Bateman would be sidelined a few weeks, saying that the injury coming out of the Bucs game was more serious than originally thought. Bateman missed two games earlier in the season with the same injury.
The Ravens selected Bateman with the 27th overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
