Baltimore’s Nnamdi Madubuike won’t play this weekend, but Minter says he’s ‘really, really close’ – WTOP News

  • Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will not play in the opener against the Colts in Indianapolis on Sunday. Coach Jesse Minter confirmed Friday the team will not play him this week.
  • The Pro Bowler missed most of the 2025 season with a neck injury, prompting Ravens coaches to take a methodical approach to his return. He only recently began participating in team drills.
  • "He is really, really close," Minter said, noting Madubuike remains in a great place during recovery. The defensive tackle is still getting back fully into football shape.
  • Starting linebacker Teddy Buchanan also missed full practice this week while recovering from late-season ACL surgery. His status for Sunday remains uncertain as he requires more recovery time.
  • Although Madubuike will miss the Indianapolis game, the Ravens are keeping the door open for a return the following week. He remains committed to being an impact player this season.
