OWINGS MILLS, Md. — As preparations ramped up for a Week 3 prime-time showdown with Detroit, the Ravens practiced without three defensive starters on Thursday.
While outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy (hamstring) isn’t expected to play on Monday night, cornerback Nate Wiggins (groin) and defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike also missed the first workout of the week. Asked about the post-interception celebration that concluded with Wiggins appearing a little gimpy after teammate Chidobe Awuzie jumped on his back, head coach John Harbaugh indicated that Wiggins was “fine” on Monday. For what it’s worth, the second-year cornerback missed only a few plays before returning to the game and finishing with a team-high 69 of 73 defensive snaps played in the 41-17 win over Cleveland.
After returning to the practice field late last week, tight end Isaiah Likely (foot) again practiced on a limited basis Thursday as he hopes to make his 2025 debut against the Lions. One would assume Likely will need to log at least a full practice or two by week’s end to have a good chance to play after undergoing surgery to repair a fracture in his left foot on Aug. 1.
Despite exiting in the fourth quarter of last Sunday’s game with a groin injury, cornerback Marlon Humphrey was a full participant on Thursday, which should leave very little doubt about his availability for Week 3. After sustaining a concussion on the opening kickoff against the Browns, running back Rasheen Ali was able to log a limited practice while wearing a red non-contact jersey during the portion of the workout open to media.
The Lions practiced without Pro Bowl left tackle Taylor Decker (shoulder), starting edge rusher Marcus Davenport (chest), and starting linebacker Jack Campbell (ankle) on Thursday. While Decker and Campbell were dealing with the same injuries before ultimately playing in Week 2, Detroit head coach Dan Campbell told reporters they wouldn’t know about Davenport’s availability until later this week.
