What happened: Nnamdi Madubuike participated in team periods Thursday, his first reported full-team work of the summer. The session followed sled drills on Aug. 24 and his July 29 removal from the physically unable to perform list.
Why it matters: A neck injury ended his 2025 season and required surgery. Baltimore kept him on the 53-man roster instead of injured reserve, leaving him eligible to play before Week 5.
By the numbers: His ramp-up progressed from PUP clearance to team drills over 36 days.
What to watch: Watch whether his workload expands during the remaining practices before Week 1.
