BALTIMORE — Broncos rookie running back Phillip Lindsay was ejected in the second quarter of Sunday’s game here for throwing a punch in a scrum at the bottom of the pile.
Lindsay, who finished with 20 yards rushing on four carries, was flagged initially for diving into a pile of players after Broncos quarterback Case Keenum was strip-sacked by Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs two minutes before halftime. Lindsay, while laid out on his back, engaged with cornerback Marlon Humphrey and threw some jabs.
The Broncos trailed 20-14 at the break and had two running backs left on the roster: Royce Freeman and Devontae Booker. Denver cornerback Tramaine Brock also exited the game with a knee injury.
