OWINGS MILLS, Md. — During a recent practice session, Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton was spotted off to the side without his uniform, indicating he was not participating fully in the drills open to media observation on Wednesday.

Hamilton sustained an ankle injury during last week’s match against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although he engaged in some light jogging and stretching, it appeared he was assessing his capacity to alter his movements. After some time, he exited the practice field.

On a more positive note, tight end Isaiah Likely, who had been sidelined due to a hamstring injury in the previous week’s game, returned to practice, suggesting he may be on track to contribute in upcoming games.

The Ravens are currently ranked at the bottom of the NFL for pass defense, making Hamilton’s potential absence even more serious, especially with a crucial game against the Pittsburgh Steelers looming. The matchup is important as it could determine the standings at the top of the division.
