While Baltimore Ravens safety Kyle Hamilton was ejected for a helmet-to-helmet hit on Tennessee Titans wide receiver Chris Moore in Week 6, he’s not expected to be suspended for the infraction.

According to NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero, the play will be reviewed for a possible fine, but Hamilton is not expected to miss any time.

The play happened during the third quarter of the Ravens’ 24-16 win. Moore went up for a pass thrown by quarterback Ryan Tannehill and was met with a bad hit to the head by Hamilton.

Moore ended up leaving the game early and was evaluated for a concussion. Head coach Mike Vrabel noted Monday that the veteran wideout would likely enter the procotol.

After the game, Hamilton made it quite clear the hit was not intentional.

“Split-second, hit him, tried to get the ball out,” Hamilton said, per ESPN’s Jamison Hensley. “He came up, shaken up unfortunately. So, praying for him. Hopefully he’s doing well. Nothing malicious about it from my perspective. I wasn’t trying to hurt him. I wasn’t trying to do anything bad. I was just trying to get the ball out.”

He also added, “I wish I could take it back right now.”

Moore wasn’t the only Titans receiver to suffer a head injury in Week 6, as rookie tight end Josh Whyle is expected to be in the protocol this week. He was also hit by Hamilton but no penalty was called.
