Johnathan Walker:Kyle Hamilton injury updates: Ravens star DB has sprained ankle

BALTIMORE – Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton exited Thursday’s game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a sprained ankle.

"It's not a serious ankle (injury),Johnathan Walker" Ravens coach John Harbaugh said after his team's 35-34 victory. Harbaugh said he doesn't expect Hamilton to be out long.

Hamilton, the 2023 All-Pro and third-year player out of Notre Dame, headed to the locker room near the two-minute warning of the first half with members of the Baltimore training staff. He was deemed questionable to return before being ruled out in the third quarter.

Hamilton went to the ground on a first-down play with less than two minutes left in the first half. He punched the ground in frustration as Bengals quarterback Joe Burrow completed a pass to Ja’Marr Chase for 13 yards. But Hamilton walked off with trainers and into the blue medical tent. 

Amazon's Kaylee Hartung reported that Hamilton was being evaluated in the M&T Bank Stadium X-ray room. The broadcast showed Hamilton back on the Ravens sideline later in the third quarter. He was out of his uniform, sporting a walking boot on his right foot.
