Kyle Van Noy’s injury cuts veteran depth in Baltimore’s edge room, accelerating the pressure on Green and internal depth while pushing coaching to improvise.

Van Noy, Baltimore's top edge defender, exited Week 2 with a hamstring injury and is likely to miss multiple games starting Week 3. He posted 12.5 sacks in 2024, ranking among the league leaders, and began his NFL career with Detroit before stints with New England and others.

Van Noy credited Allen’s wrinkles and late-game poise, noting how Buffalo’s adjustments unsettled Baltimore. His comments highlight the Ravens’ need to fix closing-time consistency as Buffalo’s offense looks capable of staying dangerous with new looks and improvised plays.
