BALTIMORE - A big hole could soon be left in the Ravens roster. Center Matt Birk could be announcing his retirement on Friday.
Birk is expected to make an announcement during a school appearance on Friday. ESPN.com reports that announcement is he is retiring.
Birk spent the first 11 seasons of his career with the Minnesota Vikings before signing with the Ravens in 2009.
He is a 1998 graduate of Harvard and won the NFL’s Walter Payton Man of the Year award in 2011.
