In a dramatic turn of events, Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy made his triumphant return to practice on Friday, sparking hope among fans that he will be able to suit up for the upcoming battle against the Raiders on Sunday. The news, reported by none other than Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, has sent shockwaves through the football world.
Van Noy, who had been sidelined with a fractured orbital bone sustained during the Ravens’ season opener against the Chiefs, is reportedly feeling optimistic about his chances of making a comeback. However, this comeback did not come without controversy. Van Noy took issue with the treatment he received from the Chiefs’ medical staff at Arrowhead Stadium, dubbing it “super unprofessional.” The NFLPA’s executive director, Lloyd Howell, echoed Van Noy’s sentiments, calling for a better response to player injuries. In a bold defense, the Chiefs maintained that they acted responsibly in handling Van Noy’s injury.
Despite the lingering uncertainty surrounding Van Noy’s status, the Ravens have listed him as questionable on their final injury report for the week. Unfortunately, not all members of the Ravens defense will be able to take the field on Sunday. Cornerback Nate Wiggins has been ruled out due to a neck injury and concussion suffered in a car accident, while linebacker Adisa Isaac is considered doubtful with a nagging hamstring issue.
As the Ravens prepare to face off against the Raiders, all eyes are on Van Noy and his potential impact on the outcome of the game. Will he be able to overcome his injury and lead the Ravens to victory, or will his absence leave a gaping hole in the defense? Only time will tell. Stay tuned for updates on this developing story.
