Ravens Rule Out Safety Kyle Hamilton With Hip Injury

Overview

• The Ravens officially ruled Kyle Hamilton out for the remainder of Thursday night’s game with a hip injury, removing one of their top defensive playmakers.
• Reports differ on when the hip injury occurred, but Hamilton was on the sideline in uniform without his helmet before the team announced he would not return, a detail the club suggested could mean the injury is not catastrophic.
• Hamilton had several impactful plays earlier in the game, including a 3-yard tackle that nearly produced a safety and a near-interception, before leaving the field.
• His loss compounds existing absences — Baltimore is also without quarterback Lamar Jackson and starting safety Jaylinn Hawkins — and comes while the Jaguars hold a decisive 23-3 lead that has limited the Ravens’ ability to rally.
• Beyond the immediate game, Hamilton’s versatility in coverage and near-the-line play is hard to replace so the team’s next steps will focus on medical evaluation, short-term lineup shifts in the secondary, and how defenders are repurposed to cover multiple roles.
