The ravens will welcome the attackers to Baltimore Sunday looking to bounce back from a heartbreaking season-opening loss.
If the ravens win for the first time in 2024, they will have to do so without one of their key players in defence.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that first-round draft pick Nate Wiggins will be sidelined for Sunday’s game against Las Vegas. The cornerback was involved in a car accident on Wednesday.

Wiggins was officially ruled out with a neck injury. He did not participate in practice Thursday or Friday.
After Friday’s practice, Harbaugh noted that Wiggins is “healthy” and “good,” but the team decided to keep him on the sidelines for Sunday’s matchup.

“He’s healthy. He’s fine,” Harbaugh said. “He just won’t be able to play.”
The coach later added, “It doesn’t seem quite serious.”
Wiggins is the fourth Ravens player involved in a car accident this summer. Star tight end Mark Andrews and defensive backs Kyle Van Noy and Josh Ross were the others.

Harbaugh suggested the team and doctors take a wait-and-see approach.
“If you want to be honest, the doctors don’t know, and they’re the doctors,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll see.”
