Source: LB Buchanan believed to have ACL tear
"'It sucks anytime you see your guy go down, somebody you go to war with every day and truly just a good dude,' Smith said after the game.

"This would abruptly end Buchanan's highly productive first season. He had been one of the biggest surprises on the Ravens this season, making 11 starts after replacing Trenton Simpson at weak-side linebacker. Buchanan, 23, entered Sunday's game with 83 tackles, which trailed only middle linebacker Roquan Smith (100 tackles). He also added five tackles for a loss, two quarterback hits and a half sack this season."
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Teddye Buchanan is believed to have torn his ACL in the team's 24-0 win at the Cincinnati Bengals and is expected to miss the remainder of the season pending further testing. The rookie fourth-round pick injured his right knee on punt coverage in the first quarter, was carted off and left the stadium using a cane. Buchanan had been a breakout starter with 83 tackles, five tackles for loss, two quarterback hits and a half sack in 11 starts after replacing Trenton Simpson. The Ravens previously lost Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike for the season with a neck injury. Teammate Roquan Smith expressed emotional concern for Buchanan.
