Kaare Vedvik, Baltimore Ravens Kicker hospitalized with head injury

The 24-year-old Vedvik, a punter, and kicker from Norway who attended Marshall was in stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center Saturday afternoon, the hospital reported.

Baltimore Ravens rookie kicker Kaare Vedvik was found injured in East Baltimore and taken to the hospital early Saturday morning, The Baltimore Sun reported.

The 24-year-old Vedvik, a punter, and kicker from Norway who attended Marshall was in stable condition at Maryland Shock Trauma Center Saturday afternoon, the hospital reported. The Ravens placed him on the reserve non-football injury list in the aftermath.

"We are aware that Kaare is being treated for head wounds and we are monitoring the situation," the team said in a statement.

The Sun reported that Vedvik was found with "upper body injuries" around 4 a.m. and police were investigating how the injuries occurred.

Vedvik was not expected to make the team when the rosters were finalized Saturday afternoon because Baltimore has Justin Tucker, a two-time First-Team All-Pro, at the position. But he impressed in the preseason, making a 56-yard field goal in Thursday's game, and had a shot to be picked up by another team.
