Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy sustained a fractured orbital bone in Thursday’s season-opening loss at Kansas City, NFL Network reported Friday.

Citing a source with direct knowledge of the injury, the report said the 11-year veteran will undergo more testing to determine how much time he will miss.

Van Noy, 33, also was checked for a concussion during the 27-20 loss to the Chiefs and was cleared, but he did not return to the game.

The injury occurred shortly after halftime when Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to land on Van Noy’s head after avoiding a sack. Van Noy was able to walk off the field and finished the game with one tackle and one quarterback hit.

Van Noy re-signed with the Ravens on a two-year deal in April after registering a career-high nine sacks in 14 games (three starts) with Baltimore in 2023.

A two-time Super Bowl champion with New England, Van Noy has tallied 42.5 sacks, 501 tackles, 12 forced fumbles and three interceptions in 143 games (90 starts) with the Detroit Lions (2014-16), Patriots (2016-19, 2021), Miami Dolphins (2020), Los Angeles Chargers (2022) and Ravens.

Outside linebackers David Ojabo and Tavius Robinson could be in line for more playing time in Van Noy’s absence. The Ravens host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
