The goal of every NFL team is to come out of the preseason healthy, but there are always some unfortunate injuries that occur during exhibition football. It happened to the Baltimore Ravens in their final preseason game against the Washington Commanders, when Ravens mascot Poe had to be ejected from the field.
During halftime, Poe and a few other mascots took part in a football game against some children. On one play, Pow was tackled and went down awkwardly. A cart had to be called and the bird was moved to the locker room for further assessment.
