Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Expected to play in Week 3
Buchanan (knee) is expected to play in Sunday's game versus Dallas, Matt Zenitz of CBSSports.com reports.
Buchanan suffered a torn ACL in December 2025 and has been working his way back since. He wasn't available for the Ravens' first two games of the 2026 campaign. However, after practicing in full Wednesday and Thursday, all signs are pointing toward Buchanan's season debut versus the Cowboys. The 2025 No. 129 overall pick finished his inaugural year by garnering 93 total tackles (49 solo), 0.5 sacks and one forced fumble.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Prepares for potential Week 3 debut
Buchanan (knee) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Buchanan was a full participant in practice for the first time since the linebacker suffered an ACL tear last December. With three full practices in Week 3, there is a good chance the training staff will give the 23-year-old the green light to play in Sunday's game against the Cowboys.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Missing second straight game
Buchanan (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Buchanan missed the Ravens' Week 1 win over the Colts as he continues to recover from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The inside linebacker was once again limited in practice throughout the week. Buchanan did not start the regular season on IR, so the team likely expects to have the 23-year-old back by Week 4, at the latest, for a matchup against the Titans.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Limited practice to open week
Buchanan (knee) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.
Buchanan was unable to play Week 1 versus the Colts after logging three limited practices, and he appears to have picked up where he left off by opening the week with another limited session. The linebacker is working his way back from a torn ACL that he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign, and he'll have two more chances to log a full practice before Sunday's matchup with New Orleans.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Won't play Sunday
Buchanan (knee) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts.
Buchanan logged three limited sessions in Week 1 but will ultimately fall short of a green light to play. The linebacker is still recovering from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 season. The Ravens are taking it very slowly with the starter, ensuring they mitigate all risk of further injury before Buchanan gets back on the field. With Buchanan out, Jay Higgins or Trenton Simpson will likely assume starting duties next to Roquan Smith.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Logs limited practice Wednesday
Buchanan (knee) was a limited participant at practice Wednesday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
Buchanan apparently still hasn't fully recovered from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 12 of the 2025 campaign, and his availability for the start of the new regular season is up in the air. He'll probably have to practice in full Thursday or Friday to avoid carrying an injury designation into the weekend.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Activated off active/PUP list
The Ravens activated Buchanan (knee) off the active/PUP list Friday.
Buchanan passed his physical just eight months after tearing his ACL during the 2025 Week 12 divisional showdown against the Bengals. The inside linebacker can now take the next step in his recovery, working his way through padded practice. With such an early activation date, there is a good chance the initial prediction of a Week 1 return date is not only possible, but likely.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Making progress in recovery
Head coach Jesse Minter said Tuesday that Buchanan (knee) is progressing in his recovery and could be available for the Ravens' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 13, Clifton Brown of the Ravens' official site reports.
Buchanan continues to progress in his recovery from a torn ACL that he suffered in December. Minter praised the second-year linebacker's rehab and expressed optimism that Buchanan would be available for Week 1 in Indianapolis. Buchanan logged 93 tackles (49 solo), including 0.5 sacks, one pass defense and one forced fumble across 14 regular-season games in his rookie campaign.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Sidelined to begin training camp
The Ravens placed Buchanan (knee-ACL) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Buchanan tore the ACL in his right knee last December and is still working his way back from the injury. However, Brown notes that the linebacker has "attacked rehab aggressively" and "hopes to return in the near future," so he could be ready to go by Week 1 of the regular season. Buchanan had a strong rookie campaign last year, tallying 93 tackles, including 0.5 sacks, one defensed pass and one forced fumble over 14 regular-season contests (13 starts).

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: Rehab exceeding expectations
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Thursday that Buchanan (ACL) "has done a great job" this offseason and has had "[one of] the top 1 percent of rehabs that I've seen," 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
Chances are, Buchanan will begin training camp with a ramp up period, in which he may be limited to individual drills early, but the 2025 fourth-round pick is clearly making tremendous recovery progress. Once back to full health from the ACL tear he suffered in Week 15 of his rookie season, Buchanan is expected to compete for a significant role at inside linebacker.

Ravens' Teddye Buchanan: ACL recovery going well
Coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Buchanan is ahead of schedule in his recovery from the torn ACL he suffered in December, NFL.com reports.
While Buchanan's rehab seems to be progressing nicely so far, he's still less than six months out from the ACL tear he sustained in Week 15 of his rookie season, and there's still no timetable for his return to team activities. Until he's back to full strength, Trenton Simpson will be a candidate for increased reps at inside linebacker next to three-time All-Pro Roquan Smith.
