Buchanan suffered the non-contact injury to his right leg while he appeared on punt coverage near end of the first quarter of divisional contest. The expected season-ending injury halts a promising rookie campaign for Buchanan. The fourth-round draft pick out of California, was named a Week 2 starter at inside linebacker, and has starred all season as a fixture across Baltimore’s middle level alongside veteran linebacker Roquan Smith. Buchanan ranks fifth on the Ravens with 639 defensive snaps and third in special teams snaps (233). Buchanan’s 93 tackles are second behind Smith. He was named the NFL’s Rookie of the Month in October. Buchanan, 23, was initially helped off the field by trainers. Shortly after he reached the visitors sideline, Buchanan was then carted off the field and into the locker room at Paycor Stadium. Buchanan, was ruled out immediately with a knee injury, and replaced at linebacker by reserve Trenton Simpson. This article will be updated. Have a news tip?
