Ravens Insider: Ravens’ Kyle Hamilton ruled out vs. Steelers; Nate Wiggins exits in 4th quarter

Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton exited Baltimore’s Sunday night game against Pittsburgh in the third quarter after an awkward collision. He was later ruled out with a concussion.

Hamilton and safety Alohi Gilman hit helmets shortly after halftime while contesting a pass to Calvin Austin III. Both were evaluated for a concussion, but Gilman returned on the next play following a timeout.

The secondary then took another hit when cornerback Nate Wiggins exited the game in the middle of the fourth.

Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers offered Hamilton a fist bump as Hamilton walked to the sideline after the play.

Hamilton was carted off as Steelers fullback Connor Heyward scored a touchdown to tie the game at 10 in the third quarter. Pittsburgh took a 13-10 lead one possession later on a 25-yard Chris Boswell field goal.

The 2021 first-round pick is the centerpiece of Baltimore’s defense, totaling 53 tackles and two forced fumbles entering the game. He recorded nine tackles before exiting.

The Ravens traded for Gilman on Oct. 7. The move allowed Hamilton to split time at linebacker, safety, slot corner and along the edge. He earned his third Pro Bowl selection and is Pro Football Focus’ highest-graded safety. Gilman, rookie Malaki Starks and Ar’Darius Washington will try to fill his void the rest of the game.

Wiggins exited after his leg was rolled up on by Steelers running back Jaylen Warren with 8:05 remaining in the fourth quarter. He remained on the ground briefly before being helped off the field by trainers. Cornerback T.J. Tampa replaced him. The Steelers retook a 20-17 lead with 3:49 remaining.

Wiggins recorded two pass deflections and four tackles before exiting. He had three interceptions entering the game.
