After making a number of huge plays on Monday to bolster his case for defensive player of the year, Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton went down and clutched his knee for the second time in three weeks late in Baltimore’s 33-19 victory over the 49ers.
Hamilton recorded three pass defenses, five tackles, and two interceptions against San Francisco, one of the league’s best offenses.
However, Hamilton did not get up after making his fifth tackle with 9:43 remaining in the game, which ended a 22-yard play by Brandon Aiyuk. Hamilton frowned while holding his knee.
He ultimately made it to the injury tent, but he stood on the sidelines for the remainder of the match. The Ravens are hopeful that the injury is not life-threatening.
After the game, head coach John Harbaugh remarked, “It doesn’t look bad for anybody.” “We’ll check to be sure of it tomorrow. We have a generally positive outlook on everyone.
Hamilton, a second-year player, has become one of the Ravens’ top defensive players. His ability to stuff the run, make open-field tackles, drop into coverage, and intimidate quarterbacks on blitzes is a major factor in the Ravens’ success. And good luck crossing the field to his side with a screen pass.
After suffering a knee injury against the Rams, Hamilton was back on the field for the team’s first practice following the game. Wearing a knee brace at practice all week, he made a comeback against the Jacksonville Jaguars in the following game.
In addition to the two offensive linemen who were injured against the 49ers, there are now two injured Ravens.
Attacks In recent games, Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses overcame nagging injuries and received snaps off. Kevin Zeitler, the right guard, and Patrick Mekari, the substitute tackle, both exited the game on Monday night.
Due to a thigh injury, Zeitler was replaced by Ben Cleveland.
Mekari’s head injury is being assessed.
The Ravens ran for 102 yards, which was their lowest total of the season, and Jackson was sacked twice for 11 yards.
