Overview

• Baltimore placed Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) and Broderick Washington Jr. (ankle) on injured reserve, sidelining both for a minimum of four games.
• To bolster depth, the Ravens signed Brent Urban and Zaire Mitchell-Paden to the 53-man roster and elevated C.J. Okoye and Josh Tupou for the Chiefs game.
• The defense faltered without Madubuike, yielding 224 rushing yards to the Lions and ranking near the bottom of the league in points and yards allowed.
• Madubuike developed symptoms after the Week 2 win over the Browns and has not practiced since, with John Harbaugh expressing concern about a longer-term issue.
• Interior depth remains thin with starting nose tackle Travis Jones listed as questionable, pushing John Jenkins and rookie Aeneas Peebles into larger roles for a stretch that includes the Chiefs, Texans, Rams and Bears.
