Strong safety Kyle Hamilton exited the Baltimore Ravens Thursday night win over the Cincinnati Bengals early due to an ankle injury.
The good news is he shouldn’t be out of commission for too long.
“It’s not a serious ankle,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said via the team’s official website after the game.
“I don’t know how long it will be, but it’s an ankle sprain.”
Not much has been reported about his status since, outside of what NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport posted on X/Twitter the next day.
Tests on #Ravens star Kyle Hamilton’s ankle came out as positive as could be hoped, source said. (The positive that’s good, not the positive that’s bad).
Excellent news moving forward. https://t.co/3DXFsisQJx

While that’s very vague, it’s still the best-case scenario, given the situation. It’s safe to say he’s doubtful against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday.
However, he may not be out for too long. And the Ravens will need him down the stretch because he’s more than a strong safety.
He’s the team’s defensive “Swiss army knife,” as he often lines up at multiple positions throughout the defense.
