Ravens Place Pro Bowl DT Nnamdi Madubuike on IR, Further Thinning Defensive Front

Baltimore enters Week 4 at Kansas City short on interior depth after allowing 224 rushing yards to Detroit.

Overview

  • The Ravens placed Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington Jr. (ankle) on injured reserve, sidelining both for at least four games.
  • Baltimore signed Brent Urban and Zaire Mitchell-Paden to the 53-man roster and elevated C.J. Okoye and Josh Tupou for Sunday’s game at the Chiefs.
  • Head coach John Harbaugh had ruled Madubuike out earlier in the week and acknowledged long-term concerns as the defensive tackle missed practices following Week 2.
  • Through three games, Baltimore ranks near the bottom of the league in points and yards allowed and surrendered 224 rushing yards in the Week 3 loss to the Lions.
  • With starting nose tackle Travis Jones questionable, the Ravens will lean on veterans like John Jenkins and rookie Aeneas Peebles along with the practice-squad elevations.
