Baltimore Raven’s starting linebacker Malik Harrison was recovering Monday after being hit by a stray bullet in his left calf by what the team described as a gathering in Cleveland the night before.

The Ravens issued a statement saying only that Harrison’s injury is “non-life threatening.” The 23-year-old was treated at a hospital and has been in contact with team doctors.

Harrison is expected to return to Maryland on Monday.

It is not yet known if his injury will affect his playing status.

The Ravens, who lead AFC North, had their farewell last week. They host the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Harrison, who played for Ohio State, was drafted by the Ravens in the third round last year. He started six fights as a rookie and recorded 44 tackles. The 6-foot-3, 245-pound has started five games this season.
