The Ravens , who sit at 7-7, are still in pursuit of the AFC North championship, but losing Buchanan this late in the season will certainly make that goal more difficult.
The 2025 fourth-round pick quickly carved out a role for himself with the Ravens. Through 14 games, the rookie totaled 93 tackles, 0.5 sacks, one pass deflection and one forced fumble. He also had five tackles for loss.
This marks the second defensive starter Baltimore has lost for the season. In Week 2, defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike suffered a neck injury.
The Ravens must now prepare for the 11-3 New England Patriots in Week 16 in primetime. The Patriots can’t clinch the AFC East next Sunday , but a win against Baltimore would hep their case going into Week 17 against the New York Jets .
