Teddye Buchanan

No. 40 · 2nd season

The Ravens aren't writing Teddye Buchanan off just yet

A torn ACL is the injury that makes front offices go quiet. When it happens, the timeline talk tends to disappear fast, replaced by careful language and a lot of waiting. That's what makes the Ravens' tone here worth noting.

Buchanan is a linebacker in Baltimore, and beyond that, the details of his path to this point are thin in what's been reported. What is clear is that he tore his ACL — one of the harder things a player can face, physically and mentally — and the team's general manager, Eric DeCosta, is not hedging.

DeCosta's word on Buchanan's return: sooner than later. For a torn ACL, that's not a nothing statement. Recovery timelines on that injury are long by default, and teams don't typically volunteer optimism they can't back up.

So the question now is what Buchanan does with the room the Ravens are making for him. They're watching. And apparently, so is he.
