Overview
- The Ravens announced that Nnamdi Madubuike passed the team physical and was removed from the active physically unable to perform list, allowing him to return to practice in a limited role.
- Madubuike, who had neck surgery in April after a Week 2 2025 injury, took part in individual drills and conditioning rather than full-team contact during his first on-field session.
- Coaches and medical staff said the club will control his workload and follow a step-by-step plan to rebuild conditioning and reintroduce contact, with no definitive game-availability date set.
- The activation on Wednesday opens the possibility he could play early in the season but the team emphasized that preserving his health for the late season is the priority.
- If Madubuike regains form, his return would materially improve Baltimore’s interior pass rush after a low-sack 2025 and complement additions like Trey Hendrickson to reshape the defensive front.
