Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins was limited in his return to practice Friday, but defensive lineman Nnamdi Madubuike remains sidelined.
Wiggins, who broke the Ravens’ takeaway drought in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, missed practice Thursday with a groin injury. He was back Friday and appears to be on track to play in Monday’s game against the Detroit Lions.
There are more questions about the Ravens’ defensive front. Madubuike, who has two sacks in two games, played until midway through the fourth quarter of Sunday’s win over Cleveland and spoke in the locker room afterward. But a neck injury has sidelined the Pro Bowl lineman this week. If he’s unavailable Monday, rookie Aeneas “Fub” Peebles would likely take on an increased role.
Outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury and hasn’t practiced since, is expected to miss Week 3. With Van Noy out, outside linebacker David Ojabo, who has been a healthy scratch in the Ravens’ first two games, is expected to be activated.
Fullback Patrick Ricard remains out with a calf injury, while tight end Isaiah Likely remained limited in his third practice since returning from foot surgery. Running back Rasheen Ali (concussion) and defensive lineman John Jenkins (personal) were upgraded to full participants Friday.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who also suffered a groin injury against the Browns, was a full participant in practice for the second straight day.
