BALTIMORE — Ravens cornerback Bilhal Kone tore a ligament in his left knee throughout Thursday night time’s 24-16 win towards the Colts within the preseason opener and can sit out the season, coach John Harbaugh mentioned.
Kone, a rookie sixth-round choose, was defending Colts large receiver Ashton Dulin down the left sideline on the finish of the primary quarter when he went down in the long run zone on an incomplete cross. He was visibly in ache and instantly grabbed his left leg.
Ravens athletic trainers put Kone’s leg in an air solid earlier than carting him off the sphere. He had been competing for one of many ultimate cornerback spots for Baltimore.
“Even seeing him within the locker room simply now’s actually arduous. Very arduous,” Harbaugh mentioned. “However I instructed him the solar will come up tomorrow. You will get this taken care of. You will be rehabbing, you are a part of our workforce, and you will be again. So it is simply not on the time that you simply hope for.”
Final season, Kone led Western Michigan with 9 passes damaged up. He added 70 tackles and one interception.
