The Baltimore Ravens added All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton to their Week 16 injury report, which could threaten his availability for their upcoming matchup against the New England Patriots.
Hamilton sustained an ankle injury in Friday’s practice and is listed as questionable for Sunday’s game. The fourth-year safety has been Baltimore’s most important defender this season. His move from a traditional safety role into a undefinable one closer to the line of scrimmage has catalyzed the defense’s turnaround.
There is no one player who can replace Hamilton, so, his absence could blow a hole in the Ravens defense, especially against a high-flying offense like the Patriots’.
Here are the Ravens’ final game designations for Week 16:
Out
- LB Teddye Buchanan (knee)
- LB Jay Higgins (knee, designated to return from injured reserve)
Doubtful
- CB Chidobe Awuzie (foot)
Questionable
- S Kyle Hamilton (ankle)
- DT John Jenkins (illness)
- LT Ronnie Stanley (knee/ankle)
