Ravens’ Bateman having groin surgery, expected back in Sept

OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh says rookie receiver Rashod Bateman is set to have groin surgery and should be back sometime in September. That announcement Thursday came a day after Harbaugh said Bateman was expected to miss “a number of weeks” with a soft tissue problem. Bateman was drafted in the first round by the Ravens. Baltimore is trying to boost its passing game after finishing last in that department a season ago. The Ravens play their first preseason game Saturday night against New Orleans.
