Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Could return for Week 3
Madubuike (neck) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice.
Madubuike has not practiced in full since suffering a significant neck injury in September of 2025. If he's able to participate in full throughout Week 3 prep, the defensive tackle could be cleared to make his season debut against the Cowboys in Rio on Sunday.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Ruled out once again
Madubuike (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Saints.
Madubuike logged a trio of limited practices for a second consecutive week, but he'll remain out in Week 2. The defensive tackle is still recovering from a significant neck injury he sustained last September but should be ready to suit up in Week 3 or Week 4, given he wasn't placed on IR at the start of the regular season.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Limited participant Wednesday
Madubuike (neck) was a limited participant at the Ravens' practice Wednesday.
Madubuike was limited at practice throughout the entire week before he was ultimately unable to play during the team's 41-23 win over Indianapolis in Week 1. The defensive lineman is on the cusp of appearing in his first contest since suffering a neck injury last September, and he'll have two more opportunities to increase his participation and log a full practice before Sunday's contest against the Saints.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Remains off field
Madubuike (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's game against the Colts, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Madubuike logged a limited practice session all three days this week. The defensive tackle is close to returning from a severe neck injury he suffered last September but will need to be fully cleared before he can return to the field. With the 28-year-old unable to suit up, Aeneas Peebles will likely draw the start at tackle next to Travis Jones and Calais Campbell on Sunday.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Limited at practice
Madubuike (neck) was considered to be a limited participant at the Ravens' walkthrough practice Thursday.
Madubuike has logged back-to-back limited sessions to open the week, leaving the door ajar for him to return to action Week 1 against the Colts. The defensive lineman hasn't suited up since suffering a neck injury last September, and once active, he will bolster Baltimore's pass rush this season.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Avoids IR
The Ravens did not place Madubuike (neck) on injured reserve Sunday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
The Ravens deemed Madubuike's neck injury surmountable enough that he will likely be able to play before Week 5 of the regular season. While the star defensive tackle may not be able to suit up for Week 1, the team clearly thinks he is close enough that they will utilize a 53-man roster spot on the 28-year-old from the jump. While Madubuike finishes his recovery, Broderick Washington will likely start alongside Travis Jones and Calais Campbell on the interior defensive line.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: May not play Week 1
Head coach Jesse Minter said Monday that he didn't have a "definitive answer" for whether Madubuike (neck) will be available for the Ravens' regular-season opener against the Colts on Sunday, Sept. 13, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Madubuike suffered a serious neck injury during Week 2 of the 2025 season, but he was activated from the PUP list in late July and has been participating in training camp practices. He hasn't played in either of the Ravens' two preseason games and is unlikely to suit up Friday against the Commanders, and he's also far from a guarantee to suit up in Week 1 of the upcoming campaign. Broderick Washington and CJ Okoye would take on elevated roles at defensive end alongside Calais Campbell if Madubuike is sidelined to start the regular season.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Activated from PUP list
Madubuike (neck) passed his physical and been removed from the active/PUP list.
His appearance on the field Wednesday marks Madubuike's first practice since suffering what was feared to be a career-threatening injury in Week 2 of the 2025 campaign, per Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun. Given the long layoff he's coming off, look for the edge rusher to be eased back into the mix, but barring any setbacks, Madubuike is poised to reclaim his key role on the Ravens' defensive line ahead of Week 1.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Opening camp on PUP list
Baltimore placed Madubuike (neck) on the active/PUP list Saturday, Clifton Brown of the team's official site reports.
Madubuike missed most of last season due to a neck injury, and he ultimately underwent surgery this April. As such, the veteran defensive tackle is not yet ready to practice. There's been optimism that Madubuike will be able to play in 2026, but a timeline for his return is hazy.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: GM provides injury update
Ravens GM Eric DeCosta said Thursday to Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore that "everything seems to be pointing in the right direction" as Madubuike (neck) progresses in his rehab, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
DeCosta didn't specify any specific change in timeline or availability for Madubuike with training camp approaching, but he did note that the standout defensive tackle's recovery is "a little bit more unclear" than that of Teddye Buchanan (ACL). Madubuike is recovering from surgery undergone in April to address a neck injury.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Progressing in rehab from surgery
Coach Jesse Minter said Wednesday that Madubuike is "trending in a great direction" as he rehabs from the surgery he underwent in April to address a lingering neck injury, NFL.com reports.
Minter said that Madubuike was even participating in a limited fashion during the Ravens' offseason program, but there is still not a timeline for his full return to the practice field. Until he's fully healthy again, veteran free-agent acquisition Calais Campbell and 2025 sixth-rounder Aeneas Peebles could get more reps with the first team on the defensive line.

Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike: Hopes to play in 2026
Madubuike underwent neck surgery last week, and the Ravens are optimistic he will be able to play in 2026, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
The 28-year-old edge rusher suffered what was feared to be a career-threatening injury in Week 2 of the 2025 campaign, but he may have avoided a worst-case scenario. Earlier in April, Baltimore's director of strength and conditioning Scott Elliott confirmed that Madubuike has been participating in the team's voluntary workout program. Madubuike is one of the pillars of the Ravens' defensive front and has totaled a team-high 69 QB hits since entering the league in 2020.
