The Baltimore Ravens announced on Sunday morning that wide receiver Jeremy Maclin was placed in the concussion protocol during the team's game in London against the Jacksonville Jaguars.
This would be a difficult setback for the Ravens if Maclin is forced to miss time considering he is one of the primary weapons in the aerial attack and was brought in to at least in part help replace the retired Steve Smith Sr.'s production.
He suffered a groin injury in 2016 when playing for the Kansas City Chiefs, but he has proved durable throughout his career outside of one major setback. Maclin played at least 13 games in six of his first seven seasons (and at least 15 games five times), but he missed the entire 2013 campaign with a torn ACL.
He topped 1,000 receiving yards in 2014 and 2015 but turned in a career-low 536 receiving yards last year with the Kansas City Chiefs. He came into Sunday's game with six receptions for 87 yards and two touchdowns.
Baltimore will have to turn toward a collection of other playmakers in Maclin's absence.
Mike Wallace and Breshad Perriman both bring upside to the table, but Baltimore is far more dangerous on the offensive side when Maclin is healthy.
