Ravens Optimistic Kyle Hamilton Will Play Against Steelers
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he's optimistic that All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) will be able to suit up in Week 11 to face the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Hamilton was injured in last Thursday night's one-point win over the division-rival Cincinnati Bengals but was able to practice on Wednesday and Thursday. It's excellent news for IDP fantasy managers and Baltimore's secondary with a tough matchup against an improving Steelers offense under quarterback Russell Wilson. Hamilton sprained his right ankle last Thursday but is trending in the right direction to play this weekend. If he's active, he should be in starting lineups in the defensive back spot in IDP formats. The 23-year-old is currently the No. 4 fantasy DB with 50 total tackles, two sacks, seven pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 10 games played.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) and linebacker Kyle Van Noy (illness) returned to practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with an ankle injury and illness, respectively. Hamilton suffered a sprained ankle in the Week 10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals, but his return to practice is promising for his potential availability against the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 11. The 2022 first-round pick out of Notre Dame has tallied 71 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and seven passes defended this season. He is the No. 4 defensive back in fantasy points this year. Van Noy has seven sacks this season and is on pace to record a career-high in sacks in his second year in Baltimore. With a key AFC North game on Sunday, expect both defenders to push to play.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) is not taking part in Tuesday's practice leading up to an important Week 11 divisional game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hamilton suffered an ankle sprain in the Week 10 win over the Cincinnati Bengals and could be questionable or ruled out later this week for Sunday's contest. The 2022 first-round pick out of Notre Dame has tallied 71 tackles, two sacks, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and seven passes defended this season. He is the No. 4 defensive back in fantasy points this year. The Baltimore secondary has allowed the most passing yards per game (294.9) this season, so his absence could make things worse for the struggling unit.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) was forced to leave Thursday night's game after making an awkward plant on his right foot. He did not return to the game, but Ian Rapoport is now saying that the star safety suffered an ankle sprain and it's not considered serious. With how bad the Ravens' defense has been, losing Hamilton for any amount of time would have been a devastating hit. He'll get a few extra days to prepare for Week 11, but his status will be something to monitor throughout next week.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) injured his right ankle in the second quarter and will not return in the second half. Hamilton stepped awkwardly with his right foot and went down in a heap before leaving the field under his own power. He went to the locker room to undergo X-rays and won't return for the rest of the game. Until we have the results of the X-rays, we won't have a great idea on how much time the 23-year-old defensive back might miss. Hamilton is one of the best all-around safeties in the NFL, though, so any time he's forced to miss will be significant for a Ravens secondary that has really struggled in 2024. The former 14th overall pick back in 2022 out of Notre Dame was a first-time Pro Bowler in his second season in 2023 and came into Thursday's game with 67 tackles (48 solo), two sacks and five pass breakups in nine games.
Kyle Hamilton Questionable To Return On Thursday Night
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (ankle) tweaked his right ankle in the second quarter of Thursday night's divisional game against the Cincinnati Bengals and is questionable to return. One of the best all-around safeties in the game stepped awkwardly with his right foot to cause his ankle injury and was immediately taken to the blue medical tent on the sidelines before eventually being taken to the locker room to undergo X-rays. The injury didn't look good for the 23-year-old, who immediately melted to the ground and did not move, although he was able to walk off the field under his own power. Before departing, Hamilton had four tackles (two solo) and two passes defensed. When healthy, he's an every-week, must-start defensive back in IDP fantasy leagues. Eddie Jackson could finish out the game in Hamilton's place if he cannot return.
Kyle Hamilton, Nate Wiggins Back At Ravens Practice
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (back) and Nate Wiggins (concussion, neck) were back on the practice field on Thursday after missing practice on Wednesday. Hamilton sat out with a back injury, while Wiggins was absent after missing the Week 2 game against the Las Vegas Raiders following a car accident. Wiggins was seen wearing a red non-contact jersey at practice. Baltimore will need its secondary to get back to health in a matchup against Dak Prescott, CeeDee Lamb, and the Dallas Cowboys in Week 3. The Ravens rank dead last in passing yards allowed per game (257.0) through two weeks.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said that safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) is dealing with a minor knee sprain and is "good" after getting injured in Sunday's training camp practice. Hamilton might miss a bit of practice time this week as a result, but he appears to have avoided a significant knee injury and should be ready to go to kick off the 2024 regular season on Thursday Night Football against the defending Super Bowl-champion Kansas City Chiefs in early September. The 23-year-old former 14th overall pick in 2022 out of Notre Dame will be one of the first defensive backs to come off the board in IDP fantasy leagues after he produced 81 tackles (63 solo), three sacks, 10 tackles for loss, four interceptions (one returned for a touchdown), 13 pass breakups and a forced fumble in 15 regular-season starts in 2023 to earn All-Pro and Pro Bowl honors.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (leg) was forced to exit early during practice on Sunday. The young safety suffered a leg injury, but head coach John Harbaugh said that Hamilton looks stable. The assumption is that the team will run tests to determine the severity of the issue. The hope is that this is a minor injury as Hamilton has been a big part of the Ravens defense.
Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton (knee) was estimated as a limited participant in practice on Tuesday as his team began preparing for their Saturday matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers. Hamilton missed his team's Week 17 win over the Miami Dolphins with a knee issue but appears to be trending in a positive direction as the Ravens prepare to take on their divisional rivals in the regular-season finale. That being said, Baltimore already has the No. 1 seed in the AFC wrapped up so they could opt to hold one of their defensive stars out of action this weekend.
