Ravens Rule Out Nnamdi Madubuike for Season as Lamar Jackson’s Week 5 Status Uncertain

Baltimore is withholding timelines, leaving Lamar Jackson’s availability for Houston in question.

Overview

  • Coach John Harbaugh said Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will miss the rest of 2025 with a neck injury after being placed on injured reserve over the weekend.
  • Harbaugh confirmed Lamar Jackson’s right hamstring injury "precluded" a return against the Chiefs and declined to provide a timetable, with his Week 5 status unresolved.
  • NFL Network reports linebacker Roquan Smith (Grade 2 hamstring) and cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) are expected to miss a couple of weeks, while Harbaugh said those injuries are not season-ending.
  • Defensive lineman Broderick Washington Jr. will go on injured reserve, with Harbaugh indicating a return later this season is possible.
  • Baltimore is 1-3 with the NFL’s worst scoring defense and hosts the 1-3 Texans on Sunday, and Cooper Rush would be in line to start if Jackson is unavailable.
