Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike’s return from a neck injury progressed to full practice participation this week, but his status for Sunday’s game remains unclear.
Madubuike said on Thursday that he feels like he’s “in the ballpark” when asked if he’d play against the Cowboys in Rio this weekend, but a final decision about whether he’ll be active is still to come.
“I’m working out every day to continue to keep getting better,” Madubuike said, via Ryan Mink of the team’s website. “So, you know, we’ll see. But I’m in a good place and coaches feel so too, so just taking just one day at a time. But I feel great.”
Madubuike last played in Week 2 of the 2025 season, so a return would be both a long time in the making and welcome for a defense that broke down late in last Sunday’s loss to the Saints.
