Ravens' Kyle Van Noy rips Chiefs medical staff after injury: 'Super unprofessional'
View Date:2024-12-23 21:19:28
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy was "disappointed" by the Kansas City Chiefs medical staff, calling them "unprofessional," after he suffered an eye injury in the 2024 NFL season opener.
Van Noy detailed his displeasure with the Kansas City staff during an episode of the "McCoy and Van Noy" podcast he does with former NFL All-Pro Gerald McCoy. Van Noy left the loss to the Chiefs with an injury that was later determined to be a fractured orbital bone.
Van Noy said it took some time before a specialist came to see him after he left the game and headed to the locker room.
"I was disappointed in the way the training staff of the Chiefs handled the situation," Van Noy said. "I was supposed to see a ophthalmologist... They took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room, which, to me, is unacceptable.
"What if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was really, really hurt? I know mine happened to be moderate, but it still was serious," he added. "Just the way it took time was super unprofessional to me."

The two-time Super Bowl champion said he figured there would be more sense of urgency to tend to an injured player. He claimed "the friend of the doctor" that came to visit him was holding Styrofoam cups "like everything was good."
Van Noy also mentioned the "F" grade Chiefs owner Clark Hunt received from members of the NFL Players Association after the 2023 season. Kansas City finished 31st overall due to the quality of care players received from the training staff and the outdated facilities.
"I understand how Kansas City, the players, have given that training room an F because with my experience I would have probably, after that, gave them an F, too," Van Noy said.
The linebacker finished by saying he doesn't want an apology from the Chiefs or for them to put out a statement responding to his criticism, because he knows what he experienced.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Wednesday he wasn't aware of Van Noy's situation until he read what Van Noy said on his podcast. Harbaugh said he respects everybody involved in the situation.
"I have respect for medical people everywhere in the league, of course. Our place, Kansas City, every place in the league I have respect for. I have the utmost respect for the players, certainly Kyle Van Noy. He’s my guy. I love him," Harbaugh said.
Van Noy didn't provide a timetable for his return. He did not participate in practice on Wednesday and his status for the Week 2 matchup with the Las Vegas Raiders is undetermined.
