The Baltimore Ravens had cornerback Marcus Peters and running back Gus Edwards to injuries on back-to-back plays according to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
The concern for both players — Marcus Peters and Gus Edwards — is a torn ACL, sources say. They both will have tests to confirm. Just terrible. https://t.co/K9GpDU0SI7

The fear with these two injuries is that they are season-ending ACL tears. Baltimore has already lost running backs J.K. Dobbins and Justice Hill to season-ending knee injuries this season. Ty’Son Williams and Le’Veon Bell figure to fill in at running back. Williams has yet to take an NFL snap, while Bell has failed to recapture what he was when he played for the Pittsburgh Steelers earlier in his career.
After signing Bell, the Ravens were already reportedly in the market for a free agent running back in Latavius Murray. Murray was recently cut by the New Orleans Saints.
At corner, the Ravens have plenty of depth, but the loss of Peters will still sting. Anthony Averett, Tavon Young and Jimmy Smith will all have increased roles now.
Peters, 28, has 31 interceptions and 86 passes defended in his career.
