Signed a four-year, $98 million contract with the Ravens in March of 2024.
Out for the year
Head coach Jon Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Madubuike (neck) won't return this season, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The 27-year-old defensive lineman was placed on injured reserve prior to the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs due to a neck injury, and it now appears he'll be sidelined for the remainder of the season. The loss of Madubuike is huge for a Ravens defense that's struggled this season, as he posted 99 total tackles, including 19.5 sacks, over his last two full seasons. Aeneas Peebles is expected to serve as one of Baltimore's top defensive ends while Madubuike remains sidelined.

Past Fantasy Outlooks
2024
2023
2021
Madubuike's career had been building towards his breakout in 2023, but few could have expected the type of season he had. From the defensive end spot in Baltimore's 3-4 defense, Madubuike racked up 13.0 sacks and two forced fumbles over 726 snaps while adding 38 tackles. It may be difficult to replicate that type of production again - Madubuike had 8.5 career sacks going into 2023 - but he's also entering his prime at age 26. His role and functions should largely remain the same under new defensive coordinator, Zach Orr.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Potential return still unclear
Head coach Jesse Minter said that the Ravens don't have a timeline on whether Madubuike will play in 2026, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Madubuike missed all but two games in the 2025 season due to a neck injury. Minter said that defensive tackle is in a good mental spot and has resumed workouts, but the coach didn't commit to Madubuike's return in 2026, instead saying it would be up to the player.
