Baltimore Ravens standout defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will miss Monday night’s game against the Baltimore Ravens due to a neck injury, coach John Harbaugh said Saturday.
Madubuike didn’t practice at all this week. The two-time Pro Bowl selection sustained the injury during the Week 2 game against the Cleveland Browns.
“I really can’t share any details on the injury itself but it’s something that they’re looking at,” Harbaugh said Saturday. “He came up with some symptoms after the game. Nothing specific in the game where we saw something happen. But they’re dealing with the symptoms and they’re testing right now. So he will be ruled out for this game, and they’re going to try to get to the bottom of it.”
Madubuike is off to a solid start with a sack in each of Baltimore’s first two games. He recorded 6.5 sacks last season and a career-best 13 in 2023.
Veteran linebacker Kyle Van Noy missed his third straight practice and the expectation is that the Ravens will rule him out when they release their injury report. Fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) also is in jeopardy of being ruled out.
For Detroit, defensive end Marcus Davenport (chest) is expected to miss the game. Reporters saw Davenport Friday with his right arm in a sling.
“I don’t see Davenport playing,” Lions coach Dan Campbell said Saturday. “We’re still trying to decide what to do. We’ve got some other tests back. We do not feel this is season-ending but we don’t see him playing this week.”
Standout left tackler Taylor Decker (shoulder) missed practice Saturday one day after being a full participant.
