During a game against the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy suffered an eye injury, leading to a 12-minute wait for an ophthalmologist due to the doctor being in the stands. Chiefs vice president Rick Burkholder clarified that NFL rules do not require such specialists on-site, though they provide them for courtesy.
Van Noy expressed frustration with the timeliness of his treatment, but an NFL review confirmed he received appropriate care. He is now focused on his upcoming game against the Las Vegas Raiders.
Burkholder has communicated with Ravens' coach John Harbaugh to address any concerns and ensure cooperation between the teams' medical staffs.
