Is Kyle Van Noy playing today? Injury updates for Ravens linebacker

Baltimore edge rusher Kyle Van Noy is listed as doubtful for Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles

The Ravens released their final injury report for Week 13 on Friday, and linebacker Kyle Van Noy is doubtful for Baltimore’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles today.

Van Noy has a neck and hamstring injury and did not participate in practice this week. He’ll be a game-time decision.

While Charlie Kolar and Arthur Maulet have been ruled out.

Van Noy, tied with Odafe Oweh for the Ravens’ lead with eight sacks, has missed just seven games over the previous seven seasons and none with the Ravens.

If Van Noy doesn’t play, Adisa Isaac or David Ojabo would be active on the 53-man roster.

Ravens Linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) will return to the lineup after missing Monday’s game against the Chargers. He practiced all week, was a full participant on Friday, and carries no injury designation into the game.

Smith’s return is necessary for Baltimore’s run defense to take on Saquon Barkley and the Eagles’ top-ranked rushing attack.

Philadelphia will decide on DeVonta Smith after pregame warmups, while Darius Slay has been ruled out with a concussion.

Kyle Van Noy is the Ravens nominee for the 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship award

Kyle Van Noy is the Ravens nominee for the 2024 Art Rooney Sportsmanship award

On Monday morning, the NFL released its 32 nominees for the tenth annual Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award. Since its inception in 2014, each NFL team has nominated one of its players for the award, which recognizes players around the league who exemplify outstanding sportsmanship on the field. The award honors the late founding owner of the Pittsburgh Steelers and Pro Football Hall of Famer, Art Rooney Sr.

“Sportsmanship is the core of the game, the vanguard of public confidence, the keeper of game integrity,” said Troy Vincent, NFL executive vice president of football operations. “These Rooney Sportsmanship Award nominees exemplify the spirit of fair play and the values of respect, integrity, commitment to team, and resiliency at the highest level of competition.”

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy was nominated for this prestigious award. His extraordinary leadership and sportsmanship were evident throughout this season in his work on and off the field.

Current NFL player’s votes determine the Art Rooney Sportsmanship Award winner. The winner will be announced during NFL Honors and receive a $25,000 donation from the NFL Foundation to a charity of his choice.

Ravens fall to 7-4 as offense sputters in 18-16 loss to Steelers in Week 11

Ravens fall to 7-4 as offense sputters in 18-16 loss to Steelers in Week 11

Lamar Jackson will have to wait a few weeks to get that much-needed win over the Steelers after the Ravens sputtered in neutral for most of the afternoon in an 18-16 loss to Pittsburgh at Acrisure Stadium.

The NFL’s No. 1 ranked quarterback in QBR, Jackson was 16-33 passing for 207 yards (6.3 avg), one touchdown, one interception, and a 66.1 rating, the lowest of this season.

Jackson had four carries for 46 yards, while Derrick Henry was held to 65 yards (5.0 avg) on 13 carries and one rushing touchdown, tying the single-season franchise record for touchdowns.

Zach Orr’s maligned defense held Pittsburgh to 4-16 on third downs and 303 total yards, but Pittsburgh held the football for 36:22, compared to Baltimore’s 23:38.

The Steelers held the Ravens ‘ top-ranked offense to 329 yards and just 124 yards rushing. Justin Tucker’s two missed field goals will further magnify the two-point loss. On the day, Tucker was 1-3 on field goal attempts, while Steelers kicker Chris Boswell was a perfect 6-6, including a 57-yard field goal.

Baltimore will quickly regroup before a massive Monday night matchup against Jim Harbaugh and the 6-3 Los Angeles Chargers.

Underused pass catcher Tylan Wallace had three catches for 115 yards (38.3 avg) and one touchdown, including an 84-yard catch and run that resulted in Lamar Jackson’s longest touchdown pass of his career, as Baltimore held on for a 35-34 win at home on Thursday night. Bengals star Ja’Marr Chase almost spoiled the Purple Rising party, as the former LSU star logged 11 catches on 17 targets for 264 yards (26.4 average) and three touchdowns, with a long of 70 yards for a touchdown.

In another near-perfect performance, Jackson was 25-33 passing for 290 yards (8.8 avg), four touchdowns, zero interceptions, and a 141.4 rating. His AFC North rival, Joe Burrow, did his part for the Bengals, hanging in the pocket as he went 34-56 passing for 428 yards, four touchdowns, and zero interceptions.

The Ravens defense allowed 470 yards, as Cincinnati was 8-16 on third downs.   Baltimore was sloppy on the night, with 11 penalties for 81 yards.

Kyle Van Noy agrees with Ed Reed’s criticism of Ravens’ defense

Kyle Van Noy agrees with Ed Reed’s criticism of Ravens’ defense

After reeling off five straight wins to improve to 5-2, you would think there would be little to complain about regarding the Baltimore Ravens. For a franchise with a rich history of dominant defenses, though, the current state of the Ravens’ defense has been disappointing, to say the least, so far this season.

Baltimore’s defense was a juggernaut last season, finishing the year with the fewest points allowed while leading the league in sacks and turnovers. This inevitably led to several coaches being poached by other teams. Rising star defensive coordinator Mike Macdonald was hired as the new head coach of the Seattle Seahawks. In contrast, defensive backs coach Dennard Wilson and defensive line coach Anthony Weaver were hired as defensive coordinators for the Tennessee Titans and Miami Dolphins, respectively.

The good news was that most of the defense players returned for the 2024 season, with notable departures being outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney, inside linebacker Patrick Queen, and safety Geno Stone. After quickly rising through the ranks of the coaching staff following his playing career with Baltimore, inside linebackers coach Zach Orr was promoted to fill the role of Macdonald as defensive coordinator.

To say the Ravens’ defense has regressed from a season ago would be an understatement. They rank last in passing yards allowed. This has led to multiple blown leads this season, resulting in seemingly blowout games that come down to the final minutes.

If there is one person whose feedback should carry extra weight in Baltimore, it is Hall of Fame safety Ed Reed. While appearing as a guest on the Manningcast during the Ravens’ victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Reed spoke the harsh truth about Baltimore’s current defense.

“They don’t understand the other side of finishing and being a championship team right now,” Reed said.

Ravens veteran outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy responded to Reed’s comments on the McCoy and Van Noy podcast.

“He’s right,” Van Noy said. “If we’re trying to win a championship we gotta cut that out. That’s the difference between a good team and a great team, and we’re not there yet and that’s the beauty of it. We’re gonna continue to work, we’re gonna continue to get better.”

Baltimore will face an easier stretch of offenses after going against some of the league’s top quarterbacks through the first seven games of the season. The team will start with the 1-6 Cleveland Browns and backup quarterback Jameis Winston this Sunday on the road.

 

Gimme Him: One player the Commanders would steal from the Ravens

The Commanders travel to Baltimore to face the Ravens in Week 6, and there is one player the Commanders would steal from the Ravens.

The Washington Commanders face the Baltimore Ravens Sunday on the road at M&T Stadium in Baltimore, Maryland. On paper, these two teams are more similar than you’d think, with similar quarterbacks, similar receivers, and solid running backs. The Commanders’ 4-1 record is slightly better than the Ravens’ 3-2 record, but the Ravens have one player the Commanders would love to steal: Linebacker Kyle Van Noy.

Looking at both offenses, there is nothing the Ravens have to offer the Commanders that is better than what they already have. But if you look at their defenses, there is one thing the Ravens excel at where the Commanders struggle: Sacks.

Enter Kyle Van Noy, who leads the Ravens with six sacks on the season. In fact, his six sacks lead all linebackers in the NFL and ranks him fourth in sacks.

Lamar Jackson is a hard quarterback to contain. He’s become more of a pocket passer in recent years, but his legs are still a problem for opposing defenses. Watching him play may be like watching Jayden Daniels in a few years, and wouldn’t it be so much easier to stop that kind of quarterback with a guy like Van Noy on your side?

The Commanders will have their hands full on Sunday with the Ravens. In reality, there is no Van Noy for the Commanders, so someone else has to step up to contain Jackson, his receivers, and Derrick Henry.

Van Noy has logged six sacks, seven tackles for loss, nine quarterback hits, and one forced fumble this month.

According to PFF, Van Noy has an 88.0 overall grade, an 85.2 pass rush grade, four QB hurries, and 17 QB pressures.
