However, the cornerback came down awkwardly while defending a pass intended for wide receiver Ashton Dulin.
He was seen writhing in pain on the floor with his leg appearing to be bent at a 90 degree angle to the left.
Groans could reportedly be heard from those watching on.
Ravens staff immediately brought over a golf cart and took him off the field.
NFL insider Jordan Schultz reported Kone’s season was all but over.
Schultz reported the 2025 sixth round pick had torn his ACL and MCL.
And coach John Harbaugh confirmed the news when speaking to ESPN.
He said: “Even seeing him in the locker room just now is really hard. Very hard.
“But I told him the sun will come up tomorrow.
“You’ll get this taken care of.
“You’ll be rehabbing, you’re part of our team and you’ll be back.
“So it’s just not on the time that you hope for.”
He played college at Iowa Central Community College and FCS Indiana State before playing his final two seasons at Western Michigan.
The Minnesota native was eventually drafted as the 178th overall pick.
He led the Broncos in passes defended in 2023 and 2024.
Kone also recorded 112 combined tackles, 17 passes defended and two interceptions across two seasons in Michigan.
But his injury could open the door for one of Jalyn Armour-Davis, Robert Longerbeam, Reuben Lowery, Marquise Robinson, T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin to push for minutes.
