Fans initially worried on social media, watching replay of Hamilton slipping on the turf at M&T Bank Stadium, that the All-Pro may have suffered a serious injury, such as a torn Achilles tendon. However, the Ravens quickly ruled Hamilton questionable to return for Thursday’s game, attributing the issue to his ankle. They ruled him out midway through the third quarter.
The third-year standout had four tackles before leaving the field under his own power. He participated in Thursday’s contest, widely considered one of the NFL best defensive backs, with five pass deflections, five quarterback hits and three tackles for loss in the 2024 season. The Ravens have also used him in multiple positions in recent years, including linebacker and nickel cornerback.
Baltimore’s backup safeties include former Chicago Bears starter Eddie Jackson and fourth-year reserve Ar’Darius Washington, who has four pass deflections and one interception this year.
