Kyle Van Noy Criticizes Chiefs' Medical Staff

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy suffered a fractured orbital bone during the season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs and criticized the Chiefs' medical staff for their handling of his injury. He expressed disappointment over the delay in treatment, stating it took an entire quarter before he was evaluated, which he deemed 'unacceptable'. Van Noy emphasized that as a visiting player, he expected prompt medical attention, highlighting a broader concern following the Chiefs’ recent 'F' rating from the NFL Players Association for inadequate player care. He stated, 'I just feel like, as a player, people have that expectation of you being professional, handling business,' underscoring the urgency he felt was lacking. The Ravens ultimately lost the game 27-20, further compounding frustrations over both the injury and subsequent care. Van Noy's experience may prompt scrutiny of NFL medical protocols and the treatment of visiting players.
