He took a handoff, and as he was turning the corner, got stuffed in the backfield.

Poe was then carted off the field at M&T Bank Stadium.

“He had a tough injury,” Harbaugh said.

According to the Ravens, Poe “took some damage to his drumstick and ruffled some feathers.”

The Ravens went on to win the final preseason game for Poe, 17-15.

Harbaugh said he showed the players the replay of Poe’s play.

“I showed it to the team. We all watched it,” Harbaugh said.
