Ravens Pro Bowl DT Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) ruled out vs. Chiefs

Baltimore Ravens two-time Pro Bowl defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike will miss his second consecutive game on Sunday at the Kansas City Chiefs because of a neck injury.

Madubuike, 27, hasn't practiced since a victory over the Cleveland Browns on Sept. 14. He developed symptoms afterward and had more medical tests, with the team not certain when he was hurt.

"I would say I'm concerned about it," head coach John Harbaugh responded when asked Wednesday about long-term concerns.

"We're going to have to see going forward when they know what they need to know," he added, saying he could not comment on injury specifics.

Madubuike had seven tackles, including two sacks and three quarterback hits, in the first two games.

He has 203 career tackles, 30 sacks, 69 quarterback hits, and two forced fumbles in 78 regular-season games (66 starts) and an additional 25 tackles and three sacks in seven postseason games (five starts).

Baltimore selected Madubuike in the third round of the 2020 NFL Draft out of Texas A&M. He was selected to the Pro Bowl in 2023 -- when he had career highs with 13 sacks and 56 tackles -- and 2024.

The Ravens (1-3) rank last in the NFL in yards allowed per game (415.0) after yielding 426 -- including 224 on the ground -- in a 38-30 home loss to the Detroit Lions on Monday Night. Baltimore, without Madubuike, recorded no sacks.

Baltimore defensive tackles Travis Jones (knee) and Broderick Washington (ankle) did not practice on Wednesday.
