Neck Injury Sidelines Madubuike Again, Putting RavensLions Availability in Doubt

Baltimore is weighing practice-squad elevations ahead of the Week 3 injury report.

Overview

  • Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike missed Thursday and Friday and was absent at the start of Saturday’s final open practice, casting doubt on his status for Monday night in Detroit.
  • The two-time Pro Bowler leads Baltimore with two sacks and 10 pressures, and a potential absence would weaken the interior rush against the Lions’ rebuilt guard group.
  • Starting outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy did not practice this week with a hamstring injury and is expected to miss the game.
  • Fullback Patrick Ricard is expected to sit a third straight week with a calf injury, while tight end Isaiah Likely has been limited as he works back from a foot issue.
  • The Ravens are evaluating depth options, including a possible elevation for veteran Brent Urban, with John Harbaugh scheduled to brief reporters before the official injury report is released.
