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.
