The Baltimore Ravens organization and the NFL community are in mourning after a devastating accident over the weekend involving the wife of longtime head coach John Harbaugh. In a deeply emotional statement released this morning, the Harbaugh family confirmed that Ingrid Harbaugh, John’s wife of more than 30 years, was seriously injured in an ATV crash while the couple was vacationing in rural Pennsylvania.

“Our family is heartbroken,” the statement began.
“Ingrid sustained severe injuries during an off-road accident and remains in critical but stable condition. We are praying and holding onto hope as she fights through this.”

💔 A Weekend Getaway Turns Tragic

Sources close to the family say John and Ingrid were enjoying a private weekend away with close friends when the accident occurred. According to reports, Ingrid was riding as a passenger on a utility terrain vehicle when it lost control on a steep descent, flipped, and pinned her underneath for several minutes before help arrived.

First responders airlifted her to UPMC Presbyterian Hospital in Pittsburgh, where she underwent emergency surgery late Saturday night for multiple fractures and internal injuries.

🏈 Harbaugh Steps Away From Team Duties

The Ravens confirmed that Coach Harbaugh has taken an indefinite leave of absence from all team activities as he remains by his wife’s side. Assistant Head Coach Anthony Weaver will temporarily oversee offseason training responsibilities.

“Right now, Coach Harbaugh’s only focus is his wife and family,” said Ravens GM Eric DeCosta.
“We are rallying around him with love, prayers, and full support.”

🙏 NFL Community Reacts

Messages of support and heartbreak have poured in from across the sports world. Rival coaches, players, analysts, and fans are sending their prayers to the Harbaugh family.

Jim Harbaugh, John’s brother and current head coach at Michigan, posted:

“Please keep Ingrid in your hearts. My brother and his wife are two of the strongest people I know.”

Lamar Jackson shared a photo with Ingrid from last season, captioning:

🕯️ A Family Asking for Privacy and Hope

“We thank the incredible first responders, the medical staff at UPMC, and everyone who has reached out. Ingrid is a fighter. Please keep praying.”

As the NFL world holds its breath, one thing is clear — this fight is no longer on the football field, but in a hospital room, with a family clinging to hope and a nation sending strength.
