Maybe he did complain earlier, but you know how coaches are - they strongly react to things like this in post-game pressers.

 

I always thought even with a 16-game schedule teams need 60 players.

 

  It was difficult for John Harbaugh to see his starting TE go down for the season on the first play from scrimmage in a pre-season game.    The knee injury to rookie RB Kenneth Dixon,  who was impressive in the game,  added to the bad evening that John Harbaugh had.   The Ravens had plenty of positives in the game,  including the return of Joe Flacco,   But all of the positives dwarf in comparison to the loss of Ben Watson for the season and the concern about the extent of Dixon's knee injury.    When Dixon went down near the Lions goalline,  he immediately grabbed his left leg.   Hopefully,  the injury isn't as bad as it looked. 

 

  Expanding the rosters at least to 55 players is something I hope the NFL Owners decide to do.  A 60 man roster,  with a 53 man Game Day roster likely would cut down on injuries to a significant extent.   Having more game day depth for Special Teams especially jumps out as something that would help lower the injury rate in the NFL.
