Nnamdi Madubuike has been cleared by independent specialists to return to practice with the Baltimore Ravens. The Pro Bowl defensive lineman suffered a serious neck injury in Week 2 of the 2025 season and underwent surgery in April. He was placed on the active/physically unable to perform list to start training camp but is expected to resume football activities as soon as next week. The Ravens are allowing him time to reacclimate while they evaluate his conditioning before full-contact practices begin.
