Nnamdi Madubuike Avoids IR, Stays on Fantasy Radar
Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike did not go on injured reserve, so the team does not think he will miss the first four games as he works back from a neck injury.
The roster signal
Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike did not go on injured reserve while the team set its initial 53-man roster. The team does not think he will miss the first four games as he continues working his way back from the neck injury that kept him out for most of last year.
Fantasy angle
Keep Madubuike on the roster radar. The first four games are not ruled out, and the Ravens did not use injured reserve to shut down the early-season window. That is enough runway to keep him rostered in deeper IDP formats, but the neck injury still makes him a monitor, not a blind-start lock.
