After suffering a fractured orbital bone in the third quarter of last Thursday's season opener against the Kansas City Chiefs, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Kyle Van Noy was not happy with how the Chiefs' medical staff handled the situation.

Per Kyle Phoenix of SB Nation, Van Noy revealed that Kansas City's trainers took an entire quarter before they evaluated him, which led to a delay in him being ruled out for the remainder of the game.

"I was disappointed in the way the training staff of the Chiefs handled the situation," Van Noy said. "When things like that hurt, especially something that could be serious like mine was, you're supposed to rely on the team's training staff or their doctors and I was supposed to see an ophthalmologist—which is somebody who checks out eye(s), performs eye surgery and they took an entire quarter to get down to talk to me in the locker room. Which, to me, is unacceptable."

Van Noy went on to add that the lack of urgency from the Chiefs' medical staff to assess the injury rubbed him the wrong way.

"Because then you start thinking, 'what if I was trying to go back in the game? What if I was really really hurt?' I know mine was moderate but it's still serious because it's an eye [injury]," he said. "And your expectation of someone to be down there as the training staff asked them to be down there would have had a little more urgency. The way it took time was super unprofessional to me. Especially because there were people in there too. One of the doctors, or the friend of the doctor was in there double-cup fisted, styrofoam cups like everything was good and I just felt that was unprofessional."

Van Noy is not alone in his displeasure with Kansas City's training staff. In the NFLPA's team report cards released ahead of the 2024 season, the Chiefs received an "F" in five categories, and their training staff was rated as the worst in the NFL.

"I understand how Kansas City, the players have given that training room an F. Because with my experience, I would have probably gave them an F, too," Van Noy said. "Yeah, they ended up figuring a little bit, but it was just, the unprofessionalism."

Despite his unpleasant experience with the Chiefs' trainers, Van Noy praised the University of Kansas health system for the treatment he received after leaving the stadium.

"Now, fast forward to going to the hospital that night at the [emergency room]. I don't know if they handled that or my trainers and the doctors were handling that [but] they executed so I do want to shout out the KU medical for doing a great job," he said. "They took care of me in the wee hours into the morning. [They] did an awesome job getting all the info really quickly and so I appreciate that. So, if they did have their hands on that, I do applaud them for that. Everything went smoothly."
