Baltimore Ravens rookie tight end Matt Hibner was carted to the locker room during the game after sustaining a hand injury.
He is listed as questionable to return, according to NFL reporter Jonas Shaffer.
The exact circumstances of the injury remain unclear, and no further details have been reported. Baltimore announced his questionable designation shortly after he was taken to the locker room, according to Ravens Wire. NFL reporter Jonas Shaffer also reported that Hibner was dealing with a hand injury and was questionable to return.
The Ravens are already without veteran tight end Durham Smythe, who suffered a season-ending Achilles injury last week. Blocking tight end Nick Vannett is active for the game. However, the circumstances surrounding the injury were unclear, and no further details about its severity were immediately available. If Hibner cannot return against Atlanta , the Ravens could have fewer options for their multiple-tight-end formations. His absence may also increase the workload for the remaining players in both blocking assignments and the passing game.
Hibner left the field on a cart during the October 11 game.
The Ravens added veteran tight end Nick Vannett to their 53-man roster after Smythe’s injury. His experience offers Baltimore another option as the team adjusts to the changes at the position.
