Eric Weddle has become known as much for his beard over the years as his ability to break up a pass, and the Baltimore Ravens safety will only be recognizable by one of those traits when his team faces the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.

Prior to the game, the Ravens shared a photo of Weddle on their official Twitter account. You may not believe your eyes.

Weddle, whose own twitter handle is @weddlesbeard, no longer looks like Grizzly Adams. Not since Ryan Fitzpatrick chopped his beard off (and then grew it back) have we seen such a dramatic change in facial hair in the middle of an NFL season. With the Ravens having lost two straight and three of their last four, perhaps Weddle is trying to switch up the mojo a bit.
