Owings Mills, MD (SportsNetwork.com) – Baltimore Ravens starting left guard Kelechi Osemele is likely done for the season because of a back injury.<\/p>\n
Osemele, who started all seven of the team’s games this season, was trying to wait until the offseason to have surgery to repair a disk in his back. Things changed this week when the Ravens discovered “some changes” in his back that need to be treated with more immediacy.<\/p>\n
“I think the chances of him playing the rest of this year are probably pretty slim,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. “There’s a good chance he’s going to get surgery here real soon. I don’t want to say for sure 100 percent because I don’t know if I’m authorized to say that, but I would anticipate that right now.”<\/p>\n
In two seasons with Baltimore, Osemele has started all 23 regular-season games.<\/p>\n
The Ravens are expected to turn to veteran lineman A.Q. Shipley, who was acquired by Baltimore from the Colts in an offseason trade.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
