Nnamdi Madubuike's Return Boosts Ravens' Defense

0:00It's April 21st. This is NFL News Today, powered by AI-tracking teams, players, and standings. Baltimore Ravens defensive tackle in NAMD, Madu Wike, dominated with 21.5 sacks since the start of the 2023 season. But a brutal neck injury in week 2 of 2025, shut him down for the year and raised real career fears. Doctors called it season ending back then, yet just before the 2026 NFL draft, fresh news hit from ESPN's Adam Schefter saying, Madu Wike had neck surgery last week, and his docs now expect him back on the field this season. The 28-year-old turned a third-round pick into a two-time pro-buller over six years, starting 66 games with 30 sacks and earning. A 4-year, $98 million extension before 2024. Without him, the Ravens defense tanked hard, dropping from 2nd and sacks at 54 and 2024 to just 30 last year. There, fewest and 15 seasons, and no one cracked 5 sacks individually.
