Ravens rookie LB Teddye Buchanan tore the ACL in his left knee in the first quarter of Sunday's win over the Bengals. That ends a debut season in which Buchanan quickly climbed from fourth-round behind to No. 2 LB behind Roquan Smith.

The Ravens get a (likely) welcomed bye in Week 7. After that, they expect to get LB Roquan Smith back. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports that HC John Harbaugh said he expects Smith to play in Week 8. The LB missed the past two games after leaving the Week 4 loss at Kansas City early with his hamstring injury.

Second-year LB Trenton Simpson looks like he's ready to take over the starting job vacated by Patrick Queen's free-agent departure.
