The Baltimore Ravens have added All-Pro Safety Kyle Hamilton to the Week 16 Injury Report, which could affect his availability for their matchup with the New England Patriots.

Hamilton suffered an ankle injury during Friday’s training and is now listed as “questionable” for Sunday’s match. Baltimore’s top defender has been the fourth-year Baltimore safety this season. The defense’s turnaround has been accelerated by his move from a conventional safety role to an undefinable position closer to the line-of-scrimmage. Hamilton is not replaceable, and his absence from the Ravens could be a major blow to their defense, particularly against an offense as high-flying as the Patriots. Hamilton’s absence could have a significant impact on the Ravens defense, especially against a high-flying offense like that of the Patriots.

T.J. Tampa, a 2024 fourth rounder, will likely play a larger role on game day as the Ravens secondary is almost certain to be without Chidobe. Hamilton’s health could also affect the snap count of backup nickel Keyon Mart.

The Ravens have announced their final matchups for the week 16:

Jenkins’ availability depends on how he feels Sunday. It would be a bad idea to promote a defensive-lineman from the practice team on Saturday.

Stanley was injured in Week 15, and he did not return. The offense had not run again until garbage time. Stanley’s limited participation this week in practice suggests that he could miss the game. However, the veteran Raven has always tried to play through the pain.

The Ravens may have to choose between Joe Noteboom, a veteran, and Carson Vinson, a rookie. Noteboom started the season as the team’s starting swing tackle, but has now been replaced by Vinson in four of the five last games. Vinson’s start Sunday was a clear indication of the coaches’ confidence in Vinson, or concern for Noteboom.
