The Baltimore Ravens announced on Monday afternoon that former Ohio State linebacker Malik Harrison was struck by a stray bullet while attending a gathering in Cleveland on Sunday night. He was treated at a local hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and is set to return to Baltimore today.

A third-round pick of the Ravens in last year’s NFL Draft, the 6-foot-3 and 247-pound Harrison has recorded 44 tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass break up in seven games – including five starts – this season. The team was off this week after a 5-2 start, which is why the Columbus native was back in Ohio.

Baltimore did not provide any information about Harrison’s playing status moving forward. The Ravens are back in action on Sunday against the Vikings at 1 p.m. on FOX.

Harrison played for the Buckeyes from 2016-19 and led the team in tackles during his junior and senior seasons. He finished his career with 205 total tackles, 29 tackles for loss, 10 sacks and nine pass break ups across 53 games, including 28 starts.
