The Baltimore Ravens will be without defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike for at least four games after he was placed on injured reserve Saturday.
Madubuike missed last week's matchup against the Detroit Lions due to a neck injury and was already ruled out for Week 4, though it's unclear when the injury occurred.
The 27-year-old is guaranteed to miss games against the Kansas City Chiefs, Houston Texans, Los Angeles Rams, and Chicago Bears.
A two-time Pro Bowler, Madubuike is one of the Ravens' top defenders. His best year came in 2023, when he put up 13.5 sacks, a personal best.
Madubuike recorded a sack in each of the first two games this season.
