What happened: Nnamdi Madubuike passed his physical Wednesday after opening training camp on the physically unable to perform list. He joined warmups in full uniform before the move and was described as one of the NFL's most talented players at his position.
Why it matters: Removal from active/PUP allows Madubuike to practice, shifting his comeback to on-field evaluation. His availability creates time to assess his conditioning and workload before the 2026 season.
By the numbers: Madubuike missed 15 of 17 regular-season games in 2025, an 88% absence rate.
What to watch: Watch whether Madubuike progresses into full practice work and how his workload is managed during camp.
