Overview
- Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed Monday that rookie linebacker Teddye Buchanan tore his ACL, ending his 2025 season.
- Buchanan injured his right knee on a non-contact punt-coverage play in Cincinnati during Week 15 and was carted to the locker room.
- Trenton Simpson stepped in after the injury and recorded nine tackles, with Harbaugh expressing confidence in his ability to handle the job.
- The fourth-round pick became a Week 2 starter and is second on the team with 93 tackles after earning October's Defensive Rookie of the Month.
- Recovery from an ACL tear is often about nine months, leaving his early-2026 availability uncertain as the 7-7 Ravens prepare for New England, Green Bay and Pittsburgh.
