Hamilton (ankle) is active for Sunday night's game against the Patriots.
Hamilton hurt his ankle in practice late in Week 16, but the starting safety evidently will not be kept out of a key primetime matchup. The versatile defensive back will expand the Ravens' defensive capabilities as he looks to extend his streak of 100 percent defensive snap participation to four games.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Trending toward suiting up Sunday
Rotowire
Hamilton, who is officially questionable for Sunday's Week 16 game versus New England due to an ankle injury, is "more likely to play than not," Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Hamilton appears to have hurt his ankle during practice, as he wasn't on the injury report Wednesday or Thursday before popping up as a limited participant Friday. He was subsequently deemed questionable to play Sunday, though it sounds like he'll be able to take the field. With that said, Rapoport notes that Hamilton's status "is not yet settled" and suggests that the safety will test out the ankle during pregame workouts, so his status probably won't be certain until the Ravens release their list of inactives approximately 90 minutes prior to the 8:20 p.m. ET kickoff.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Questionable for Sunday
Rotowire
Hamilton (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Patriots.
Hamilton was a new addition to Friday's injury report with an ankle injury. The safety was able to log only a limited session for the last practice of Week 16, and his status for Sunday's primetime bout with the Patriots is in question. The ability to practice in any capacity means the starter will likely be able to play in what is a key game for the Ravens' playoff chances, but if he is unable to go, Ar'Darius Washington will likely start the game at strong safety.
Hamilton tallied eight tackles (three solo) Sunday in a 24-0 win against Cincinnati.
Hamilton tied with two other players for the third-most tackles on Baltimore. He's posted at least seven tackles in four of his past five games. Hamilton has recorded a total of 87 stops, including 1.0 sacks, and seven defensed passes over 13 contests this season.

Rotowire

Hamilton still seems to be trending in the right direction for Thursday's game against the Bengals, but it won't be known until after Wednesday's practice whether he carries an injury designation into Thanksgiving Day.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Upgrades to limited practice
Rotowire
Hamilton (shoulder/groin) was a limited participant in practice Thursday.
The Ravens are listing Hamilton with both a shoulder and groin issue, and the pair of problems caused him to sit out practice Wednesday. The talented safety's ability to practice in a limited fashion Thursday provides hope that he'll be able to suit up against the Jets on Sunday. However, Friday's final injury report will indicate if Hamilton heads into the weekend with an injury designation.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Nursing shoulder injury
Rotowire
Hamilton (shoulder) did not participate in Wednesday's session.
Hamilton likely picked up the injury during the Ravens' Week 11 win over the Browns, when he played every single defensive snap and finished with nine tackles (six solo), including 1.0 sacks, two pass defenses and one forced fumble. His absence from Wednesday's practice may have been precautionary, and he'll have two more opportunities to log at least a limited session heading into Sunday's game against the Jets.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Agrees to blockbuster extension
Rotowire
Hamilton and the Ravens agreed to terms Wednesday on a four-year, $100.4 million contract extension, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
Hamilton's extension is the largest in NFL history for a safety, but Baltimore wanted to waste no time in securing the 2022 first-round pick's long-term future with the team. Fresh off a breakout 2024 campaign in which he earned second-team All-Pro honors and tallied a career-high 107 total tackles (including 2.0 sacks) while playing all 17 regular-season games, Hamilton is positioned alongside Marlon Humphrey as one of the leaders of the Ravens' secondary. The former also had nine passes defensed in 2024, including one INT, and two forced fumbles (one recovered).

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Returns to practice
Rotowire
Hamilton (groin) returned to practice Tuesday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Hamilton missed last week's preseason opener against the Colts, but his return to practice Tuesday at least gives Hamilton a chance to suit up for Saturday's exhibition against Dallas.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Absent from practice
Rotowire
Hamilton (groin) will not participate in Saturday's training camp practice, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Hamilton did not play in Thursday's preseason opener against the Colts due to a groin injury. The Ravens will manage Hamilton's injury conservatively, and he's unlikely to play in Baltimore's next preseason game against Dallas on Saturday, Aug. 16 if he's unable to practice in the coming week. Sanoussi Kane drew the start at strong safety Thursday and will continue to get reps with the first-team defense for as long as Hamilton is sidelined.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Dealing with groin injury
Rotowire
Hamilton (groin) did not participate during Tuesday's training camp practice, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Hamilton apparently picked up a groin issue during Monday's session, and now he's absent from drills entirely. His availability for Thursday's preseason game at Baltimore is in jeopardy, though the reigning Pro Bowler doesn't figure to play much in that contest even if he's at 100 percent. In his absence, 2024 seventh-rounder Sanoussi Kane could see some first-team reps at safety.

Ravens' Kyle Hamilton: Reaches tackling century mark
Rotowire
Hamilton played in all 17 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 107 tackles (77 solo), including 2.0 sacks, nine pass defenses (one interception), two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery.
Hamilton's tackling output in 2024 was a career high and second most on the Ravens behind Roquan Smith (154). Hamilton registered double-digit tackles in five regular-season games and played every single snap in nine contests. He didn't miss a snap during the Ravens' postseason run, during which he accumulated 12 tackles (six solo) across two games. Hamilton's efforts in 2024 earned him a Pro Bowl nod for a second straight year and a spot on the second-team All-Pro roster, and the Ravens will likely exercise the safety's fifth-year option while working on a contract extension during the offseason, Clifton Brown of the team's official site posits.
