Ravens fans are sending their condolences this weekend to the mascot, Poe, who suffered a sudden injury on the field during halftime.
It happened during the Ravens'last preseason game, on Saturday night, against the Washington Commanders.

When asked about Poe's injury, Coach John Harbaugh commented:
“I knew you guys were going to ask that. Didn’t he come out of the tunnel, à la Willis Reed? Come on, it’s Kid’s Night. It’s Kid’s Night, remember. No updates on that. There will be an MRI tomorrow, I’m sure.”
Due to injuries sustained during last night’s halftime performance, Poe will be unable to attend today’s “Brunch & Bootcamp” event, benefiting @BriganceBrigade.

Poe took some damage to his drumstick and ruffled some feathers last night during his Mascot Classic.

The Ravens did ultimately beat the Commanders 17-15.
