The Facts: Boller was placed on injured reserve by the Baltimore Ravens on Wednesday, ending his season and perhaps his stay with the team.

Diehards Line:Boller hurt his shoulder in Baltimore’s second preseason game against the Minnesota Vikings and has not played since. HC John Harbaugh described the injury as either a torn labrum or other damage that would render Boller unable to play this year. Boller entered the preseason competing for the starting job with Troy Smith and top draft pick Joe Flacco, who ultimately won the job because of Boller’s injury and Smith’s lengthy battle with infected tonsils.
