Siragusa

A fourth-round pick by the Ravens back in 2017, Siragusa tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL during his first training camp and has yet to appear in an NFL game. It is unlikely he cracks the initial 53 coming out of camp.

He’ll revert to injured reserve. The No. 122 overall pick of last year’s draft has been battling severe knee issues since last August.

Siragusa (6’4/319) was a three-year starter on the Aztecs’ line, mainly manning left guard and earning first-team All-Mountain West as both a junior and senior. Built wide and powerfully, Siragusa possesses plus arm length (33 ½") for an interior lineman and has massive hands (10 5’8"). PFF College gave Siragusa its No. 3 pass-block efficiency rating in the nation in 2016, and Siragusa also shined as a gap-scheme drive blocker on tape. Siragusa posted the third-highest SPARQ rating among offensive linemen at the Combine, in addition to the top Wonderlic score (29) among guards. Siragusa possess many requisite traits of a long-term starting NFL guard.

The hits just keep coming for Baltimore. Siragusa reportedly was not able to put any weight on his leg before being carted off, suggesting he is looking at a serious injury. Already thin along the offensive line, the Ravens may need to add someone.

Devastating. The No. 122 overall pick had been getting some first-team reps at the Ravens’ unsettled left guard position. Now he’ll be settling in for what will probably be a year-long rehab. Siragusa has impressive college film and measurables, but was old for a rookie. He will be a 24-year-old sophomore with a shredded knee in 2018. Enduring an unfathomable run of injuries, the Ravens have lost seven players for the season since June 1.

A fourth-round pick last year, Siragusa tore his ACL, MCL, and PCL during training camp last season. It is a devastating injury which already had him questionable for training camp, and the second surgery adds another layer of doubt. If he can get back, Siragusa should compete for a backup job.
