If Ravens tackle Jared Gaither was a little more well known, his training camp odyssey might be receiving a post every morning, like a certain Redskins player less than an hour away.
There’s been no shortage of topics to write about. Gaither has been bothered by a mysterious bad back, and the Ravens had him take blood tests to try to explain his sudden and unwanted 29-pound weight loss.
The drama continued Saturday with Gaither visiting a back specialist, while coach John Harbaugh down played the injury.
“I have not heard the report on that yet, other than to hear it’s not serious, it doesn’t look like,” Harbaugh said. “It’s just something he’s got to fight through. It’s unfortunate because he’s competing for that spot and you’ve got to stack practices. That’s what the competition’s all about.”
Our coach translator says that means: “You better get back to practice fast or I’ll bench you and that will cost you money.”
