The Baltimore Ravens defeated the Arizona Cardinals by the final score of 24-17 in Week 2 of the 2022 preseason. The victory extends their preseason winning streak to 22-consecutive games, which adds on to their NFL record.
The game featured plenty of positives for Baltimore, but something that had the potential to cast a major shadow on the night was the injury to Travis Jones, who was injured late in the game. Jones walked off of the field and went to the blue medical tent, and Ravens head coach John Harbaugh provided a key update on Jones after the contest.

Harbaugh said that Travis Jones’ knee injury was a hyper extension type situation. Said he’ll definitely be out rest of preseason, but doesn’t think it will be an extended absence.

It’s the best case scenario for Baltimore, who could have seen Jones suffer a far worse injury. The rookie defensive lineman has been a dominant force both in training camp and in the preseason, and is expected to carve out a big role on the Ravens’ defense during the 2022 season. It’s unclear how long Jones will be out for, but the fact that he didn’t suffer a major injury was the cause of many sighs of relief all throughout Baltimore.
