Patrick Queen is among multiple Baltimore Ravens players who believe that Kyle Hamilton should not have been ejected in Week 6.
Hamilton was issued a game disqualification for the first time in his career on Sunday. The second-year safety delivered a helmet-to-helmet hit to Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore that forced the veteran wideout to head into the locker room after the play. Moore was later ruled out for the remainder of the contest due to a concussion.
Queen was caught off guard when he saw Hamilton leave the game for the good. Queen did not see that the safety’s head-first hit on Moore during the third quarter warranted an ejection.
"It’s a tough call," Queen said after the game. "Honestly, I don't think he should’ve been ejected. Was the hit kind of vicious? [It was] not really intended [to be]. But, whatever the official made, whatever call he made, we just have to roll with it and just play football at that point.
"I don't see anything wrong. We’re playing football, at the end of the day, and he tried to go for the ball and fell down. I know Kyle didn't intentionally try to hit him in the head, but it’s the sport that we play now. We just have to adapt."
It remains to be seen whether Hamilton will be handed a fine from the NFL for the hit.
Hamilton tallied a mere one tackle during his time on the field on Sunday.
