Pro Football Rumors
The Ravens are among the teams which have made a number of roster moves in advance of training camp. Six players are now on the active/PUP list, while depth offensive lineman Corey Bullock has also been placed on the active/NFI list.
Baltimore announced on Saturday that defensive linemen Nnamdi Madubuike, Travis Jones and John Jenkins were each moved to active/PUP. The same is also true of linebacker Teddye Buchanan, edge rusher Adisa Isaac and cornerback Bilhal Kone. All of them can be activated at any time.
The status of Madubuike in particular has been closely monitored throughout the offseason. His recovery progress following neck surgery has been a key talking point, with optimism increasingly emerging with respect to a return. The most recent news on that front is encouraging. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports Madubuike has been medically cleared to take the field by independent doctors. That had not previously been the case, but the two-time Pro Bowler will now be in position to practice as early as next week depending on his conditioning and the level of caution with which the team proceeds.
Madubuike was limited to just two games last season due to the neck injury which ultimately required a procedure. The 28-year-old’s absence was acutely felt in 2025, particularly given his impact as an effective pass rushing presence. A major defensive role should await him upon return, provided no setbacks are suffered during the summer. Buchanan is working his way back from the ACL tear which ended his rookie campaign, but a recent update from general manager Eric DeCosta indicated a return in the relatively near future should be expected.
Jones is recovering from a pectoral injury, as Zrebiec notes. A return to action shortly is likely in his case as well. Kone, meanwhile, missed his entire rookie year due to an ACL tear. Jenkins’ injury is unknown, but he appeared in all 17 games for the Ravens last season. A depth spot behind Jones at nose tackle is on tap for 2026 after he re-signed with Baltimore on a one-year deal.
The Ravens will conduct their first training camp practice on Wednesday. Given the news regarding Madubuike in particular, they will, in general, enter the summer in strong shape on the injury front.
