Overview

  • Coach John Harbaugh said he is concerned about Madubuike’s neck issue, ruled him out for Kansas City and declined to share specifics pending further evaluation.
  • The Ravens signed veteran defensive tackles Taven Bryan and Josh Tupou to the practice squad to reinforce depth on a depleted interior line.
  • In Madubuike’s absence against Detroit, Baltimore allowed 224 rushing yards and failed to record a sack, snapping a 57-game streak.
  • Starters Travis Jones and Broderick Washington Jr. were among several defenders who missed Wednesday’s practice, with Harbaugh expressing a good feeling about their Week 4 availability but offering no guarantees.
  • The team could consider longer-term steps if Madubuike remains out, including an injured reserve stint or exploring trade options ahead of the Nov. 11 deadline.
