Ravens Place Pro Bowl DT Nnamdi Madubuike on IR as Defensive Line Thins for Chiefs

The move follows a Week 2 neck issue, leaving a struggling Baltimore defense without its top interior pass rusher.

Overview

  • Madubuike and Broderick Washington Jr. were placed on injured reserve, sidelining both for at least four games.
  • The absence begins Sunday at Arrowhead Stadium against the Kansas City Chiefs under the league’s four-game IR minimum.
  • To bolster depth, Baltimore signed Brent Urban to the 53-man roster and elevated C.J. Okoye and Josh Tupou for Sunday.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh had expressed long-term concern as Madubuike missed practices after developing symptoms following the Week 2 win in Cleveland.
  • Baltimore’s defense ranks near the bottom of the NFL after allowing 224 rushing yards to Detroit, with Travis Jones listed as questionable and John Jenkins set for a larger role.
