Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy suffered a fractured eye socket in Thursday's opening loss at Kansas City, NFL Network reported Friday.

Citing a source with direct knowledge of the injury, the report said the 11-year veteran will undergo further tests to determine how much time he will miss.

Van Noy, 33, was also evaluated for a concussion during the 27-20 loss to the Chiefs and was declared healthy, but did not return to the game.

The injury occurred shortly after halftime when Kansas City quarterback Patrick Mahomes appeared to land on Van Noy's head after dodging a sack. Van Noy was able to leave the field and finished the game with a tackle and a quarterback hit.

Van Noy re-signed with the Ravens on a two-year deal in April after recording a career-high nine sacks in 14 games (three starts) with Baltimore in 2023.

Van Noy, a two-time Super Bowl champion with New England, recorded 42.5 sacks, 501 tackles, 12 forced fumbles and three interceptions in 143 games (90 starts) with the Detroit Lions (2014-16), Patriots (2016-19, 2021), Miami Dolphins (2020), Los Angeles Chargers (2022) and Ravens.

Outside linebackers David Ojabo and Tavius ​​Robinson could get more playing time in Van Noy's absence. The Ravens host the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 2.
