CINCINNATI -- Baltimore Ravens linebacker Teddye Buchanan, who is the team's second-leading tackler, was knocked out of Sunday's game against the Cincinnati Bengals with a knee injury.

Buchanan injured his knee on punt coverage in the first quarter and was carted to the locker room.

A rookie fourth-round pick, Buchanan has been one of the bigger surprises on the Ravens this season. He replaced Trenton Simpson in the starting lineup at weak-side linebacker and entered Sunday's game with 91 tackles, which trailed only middle linebacker Roquan Smith (100).

Buchanan also has five tackles for a loss, two quarterback hits and a half sack this season.
