Kyle Van Noy Suffers Eye Injury in NFL Opener

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy suffered a fractured orbital bone during the NFL season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, attributing his injury to a collision involving quarterback Patrick Mahomes and a teammate. Following the injury, Van Noy expressed disappointment with the Chiefs' medical staff, stating they took an entire quarter to assess him, which he deemed unacceptable for a potentially serious eye injury. He highlighted the lack of urgency from the medical team and questioned their commitment to player safety, echoing concerns raised in a previous NFLPA report that gave the Chiefs' training staff a failing grade. Van Noy praised the doctors at the University of Kansas Medical Center for their care but remains uncertain about his return for the upcoming game against the Raiders. His experience has sparked discussions about the need for improved medical protocols in the league. The situation raises broader questions about the treatment of player injuries and the responsiveness of medical teams on the field.
