Nnamdi Madubuike could be closing in on a return for Baltimore after the defensive tackle said he is in “a good place” as he works back from a neck injury that has kept him out since September 2025.
Madubuike practiced fully on Wednesday and left his availability for Sunday’s game against the Cowboys unresolved, saying, “We’ll see” when asked whether he would play. His potential return would give Baltimore a significant interior presence against Dallas.
