Ravens hope Nnamdi Madubuike will start contact work in "next couple of weeks"
Ravens defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike came off the physically unable to perform list early in training camp, but he has not returned to a full practice workload.
Defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike, who recently returned from the physically unable to perform list, is set to commence full-contact work in the next few weeks, according to Ravens head coach Jesse Minter. Madubuike, who missed most of last season due to a neck injury, has been restricted to light stretching, conditioning and individual work.
Minter, when inquired about Madubuike's timeline for increased activity, stated that both teams are carefully coordinating the process to ensure it's done at a pace that everyone feels comfortable and confident about. He provided an approximate timeframe, suggesting that Madubuike will likely begin working on contact drills again within the next couple of weeks.
However, Minter added that this accelerated ramp-up could potentially leave little time for the final stages of preparation if the team hopes to have Madubuike ready for Week 1 of the new season.
