Konrad Reuland 6 1/2 Months Post ACL Reconstruction
Former Ravens tight end Konrad Reuland has died, Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh announced on Monday.
"Just want to offer condolences to his family. We love Konrad Reuland," he said. "Every single guy in that locker room loves him who knows him."
He then recited a short psalm at the podium on his behalf.
Reuland had suffered a brain aneurysm, Harbaugh said, and passed away on Monday.
A graduate of stanford, reuland went undrafted in 2011. He would go on to bepart of four franchises during his NFL career from 2011-16. He played in Baltimore from 2014-15. He caught 12 passes in his career for 90 yards.
Torrey Smith is no longer a Raven, but -- if you take a look at the comments section -- it"s clear that Baltimore still loves him.
That means everyone still keeps up with the Smith family, including son TJ, who has many times before taken the internet by storm with his dance moves.
Here"s the latest, TJ dancing to "Juju on that Beat" with 49ers wide receiver Bruce Ellington.
MORE RAVENS: LOOKING AHEAD TO THE EAGLES
The Ravens waived veteran returner Devin Hester on Tuesday, following another bad game that was a microcosm of his entire season.
Hesters indecisiveness in fielding punts put the Ravens in poor field position several times over the course of the season. It happened again Monday night, when a punt that Hester neglected to catch was downed by the Patriots, pinning the Ravens at the one-yard line. On the next play, the Patriots tackled running back Kenneth Dixon in the end zone for a safety.
MORE RAVENS: LOOK AHEAD TO EAGLES
Hester also fumbled five times this season, and despite being the NFLs all-time return leader in yards and touchdowns, it was clear his skill set had diminished at age 34. With the Ravens (7-6) fighting for a playoff spot, the decision was made that Hester had been given enough chances.
Wide receiver Michael Campanaro has been promoted to the 53-man roster from the practice squad, and he was expected to take over the return duties. Campanaro was waived with an injury designation (calf) before the season, but he was re-signed in November and has been eager for another opportunity. That opportunity for Campanaro will begin Sunday, when the Ravens host the Eagles.
