Ravens' Nnamdi Madubuike returns after career-threatening neck injury

Nnamdi Madubuike has been cleared to resume practice with the Baltimore Ravens following a career-threatening neck injury sustained last season. The Pro Bowl defensive tackle participated in his first team workout in 10 months after undergoing neck surgery in April. While initially placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list as a precaution, Madubuike’s successful physical means he is set to play this season, with hopes of bolstering a defense that struggled in his absence. The Ravens' defense had ranked first and ninth in points allowed during the previous two seasons but dropped to 18th without him last year.
