Ravens' Benjamin Watson tears Achilles' on Saturday

Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson suffered a torn Achilles' in Saturday's preseason game.

What It Means:

Watson went down on the first play of the night. It's a huge blow to a pass game that relies heavily on tight ends. The Ravens gave Watson a two-year, $7 million deal this offseason, but he's now almost guaranteed to miss the season. With Dennis Pitta and Maxx Williams also sidelined, Baltimore is down to Crockett Gillmore as their healthy tight end.

This solidifies Gillmore as the starting tight end in our models, with a current projection of 467 receiving yards and 4.21 touchdowns on 40 catches this year.
