Ravens Lose Kyle Hamilton to Hip Injury in Jaguars Matchup

The Baltimore Ravens are already struggling against the Jacksonville Jaguars, and now the team has been hit with a significant injury. 

All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton has been ruled out with a hip injury. It was not known at the time of the notice what had happened to the defender.

Hamilton exited the game and went into the blue medical tent to get checked out. Despite attempting to go back out for a few plays, it was revealed that he could not continue.

Hamilton had been playing a solid game against the Jaguars, which included a tackle for loss that was nearly a safety and a would-be interception. Unfortunately, he will now be out for the remainder of the game.

The Ravens are also dealing with an injury to outside linebacker Adisa Issac, as he was designated questionable with a hamstring injury in the second quarter.

Thus far, through three quarters, this Baltimore team has struggled mightily. Led by rookie quarterback Joe Fagnano, the offense has not been able to move the chains.

Defensively, the Ravens have attempted to stop the Jaguars and have held the high-powered offense to only two touchdowns thus far. However, Jacksonville has also been tacking on points with field goals.

Fagnano has also thrown two picks thus far through the game. 

Baltimore has hit some tough luck with the loss of Lamar Jackson, who ended up getting hurt on the first play of his Week 8 return. The normal starter missed Weeks 5 to 7 due to a sprained ankle.

Jackson has since been placed on the IR, along with Tyler Huntley. Huntley came in when Jackson went down, but the backup also suffered a toe injury that was later classified as a season-ending turf toe. 

This led to Fagnano coming in as the emergency third option. With the Ravens running out of time, they placed the rookie as the starter for the short week and the Thursday game against this tough Jaguars team. 

There was some hope that the rookie quarterback could make some noise, but he has not looked comfortable in the pocket. The two turnovers certainly do not help the situation.

At the time of this writing, the Jaguars have cruised to a 26-3 score. Baltimore still has plenty of footbal left to play this season, but they cannot afford to lose too many more games if they are to challenge for a playoff spot at the end of the regular season.
