Ravens center Danny Pinter suffered a torn patellar tendon during Wednesday's joint practice against the Minnesota Vikings, per NFL Network's reporting cited by multiple outlets. Pinter is expected to miss an extended amount of time with the knee injury.
Pinter, 30, had been working with the starting offensive line during training camp and started the Ravens' first preseason game as the team sought to replace Pro Bowl center Tyler Linderbaum. Baltimore Beatdown reported that the injury will likely sideline him for the 2026 season, though other outlets only noted he will miss an extended period.
Pinter was a fifth-round pick by the Colts in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Ball State. The injury represents a significant setback for the Ravens' center competition during the preseason.
