The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Washington Commanders by the final score of 17-15 on Saturday night, extending their preseason winning streak to 23 games. The team saw a few of their players leave the game with injuries, but that’s not the only part of the organization that didn’t come out unscathed.
During halftime, Baltimore’s mascot Poe got injured during a mascot vs. youth football game. He had to be carted off of the field, and many have awaited updates the mascot’s status. On Sunday, the team posted a photo of Poe with an ice pack on his knee, saying they’ll continue to share updates on the situation.
Thanks for all your concerned tweets 💜
Poe took some damage to his drumstick and ruffled some feathers last night during his Mascot Classic.
We’ll continue to share updates on Poe’s status, but he’s resting comfortably in his perch awaiting further test results. pic.twitter.com/WFAHn3n4W2

While it’s unclear what the actual injury Poe suffered was, the mascot had to be carted off of the field after being tackled during the halftime game. Hopefully the ailment isn’t serious and he’ll be able to return to action in no time.
Poe did return in the second half of the game, sparking speculation that a new person was behind the costume.
