OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens cornerback Jaylen Hill sustained a season-ending knee injury in the third quarter of Saturday’s win over Indianapolis.
The rookie defensive back suffered a non-contact injury covering a punt, tearing the ACL and MCL in his right knee. Hill appeared in six games after being the biggest surprise of the preseason, earning a spot on the 53-man roster as an undrafted free agent out of Jacksonville State.
“He was really working hard on special teams and developing as a defensive back,” head coach John Harbaugh said. “He’s a developmental guy for us that has a real bright future, but he will have to go to work to rehab that injury. That was a tough one for him and for us.”
A hamstring injury suffered late in the summer sidelined Hill for the first six weeks of the regular season, derailing his bid to become Baltimore’s nickel corner. His injury will likely pave the way for cornerback Stanley Jean-Baptiste to be active on game days after being a healthy scratch for three straight contests since his promotion from the practice squad.
To take Hill’s place on the active roster, the Ravens promoted wide receiver Quincy Adeboyejo from the practice squad. Baltimore also signed cornerback Robert Nelson to the practice squad on Tuesday.

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government
"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.
Gordy pushes the beat to another Grammy nomination
Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.
Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor
This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you're an invite and a taste away because he's en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey's in Halethorpe invited us over and must've known that offering "Crabby Toast" would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
