The Baltimore Ravens’ defense struggled tremendously last season, allowing the ninth-most total yards and the third-most passing yards while recording the third-fewest sacks. Nnamdi Madubuike’s prolonged absence played a significant role in those struggles. Madubuike suffered an undisclosed neck injury in Week 2, which led to his placement on season-ending injured reserve ahead of Week 4, and raised concerns that the injury could be career-threatening.

Baltimore Ravens’ GM offered few details on the two-time Pro Bowler a few weeks ago
“I can’t really discuss that, obviously,” DeCosta said, via Clifton Brown via the team’s website.
“I will say, not having Nnamdi this year was a horrible situation for our team. I think it affected us in different ways – in many ways. He is a great player, a great person, a special person. We are still working through a lot of his different ideas and things so that we can hopefully get more and more information about his situation.”
Madubuike has posted two cryptic tweets on X over the past week.
