Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike suffered a neck injury in Week 2 and did not play for the remainder of 2025. General Manager Eric DeCosta expressed uncertainty about Madubuike’s future, but ESPN’s Jamison Hensley reports growing optimism about his return. Madubuike, a two-time Pro Bowler, has two years left on a four-year, $98 million deal, with a fully guaranteed 2026 base salary of $22 million. Before his injury, Madubuike led NFL defensive tackles with 21.5 sacks from 2023 until being placed on injured reserve on September 27.
