Ravens, Colts Lose Rookie Corners to Injury

Baltimore Ravens rookie cornerback Bilhal Kone, a sixth-round pick from Western Michigan, tore both his ACL and MCL late in the first quarter of the preseason opener against the Indianapolis Colts and will miss his entire rookie season. Kone was carted off the field with an air cast after sustaining the injury while defending a pass. Ravens head coach John Harbaugh expressed his support, vowing the team would assist Kone through recovery and keep him as part of the roster. The Ravens' cornerback depth, already impacted by other recent injuries, now faces further challenges. The Indianapolis Colts also lost rookie cornerback Justin Walley for the 2025 season due to a torn ACL. Both teams must address these setbacks as the regular NFL season approaches.
