OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens quarterback Trace McSorley will miss the remainder of preseason with a back injury, according to Head Coach John Harbaugh on Monday. The former Penn State QB is in competition with Tyler Huntley for the backup job behind Lamar Jackson.
McSorley injured his back on Saturday just before the Ravens’ preseason opener against the Saints.
“He wrenched it in some way,” Harbaugh said. “He’s going to be out for a few weeks with that situation.”
