  "account": "Ravens General Manager Eric DeCosta expressed uncertainty about the timeline for Rashod Bateman's ongoing investigation into allegations that he broke a car's windshield and windows with his child and the child's mother inside the vehicle. DeCosta stated that the Ravens were aware of the situation immediately and reported it to both the league and authorities. The investigation is ongoing, and DeCosta noted that he has \"no indication how long that's going to take.\" Bateman, who had a disappointing 2025 season, was not placed on paid leave by the NFL ahead of the 53-player roster cut. The team will need to rely on other receivers to step up and fill the void left by Bateman's potential absence.",
  "summary": "Ravens wide receiver Rashod Bateman was arrested in June after allegedly breaking the windshield and windows of a car with his child and the child's mother inside, but he was not placed on paid leave by the NFL ahead of the cut to 53 players last weekend.",
