Nate Wiggins was carted off the field during the first hour of practice on Tuesday, leaving his status in doubt and creating a fresh concern for the Baltimore Ravens defense.
At 22, Wiggins is entering his third NFL season and has already established himself as a starter for the Baltimore Ravens. Any extended absence would be a significant blow to a secondary that has leaned on his reliability.
Wiggins has become a key part of the Ravens secondary
Wiggins was a first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, and he backed up that pedigree by starting all 17 games in 2025. He finished the season with 3 interceptions and 76 combined tackles, numbers that underline how much responsibility he carried on the back end.
That is why the news from Tuesday matters so much. Being carted off in the first hour of practice does not tell the full story of the injury, but it does suggest the Ravens were forced to react quickly and cautiously.
Why this is a concern for Baltimore
The immediate issue is simple: the Baltimore Ravens need stability in their secondary, and Wiggins has been one of the players helping provide it. When a starting cornerback is suddenly in doubt, the ripple effect is felt across the defense.
There is no confirmed timeline here, and the seriousness of the injury has not been made clear. But for a player who started every game last season, even a short-term absence would be worth monitoring closely.
For now, the Ravens are left waiting on more information. Until they know more, the concern is not just about one practice session — it is about whether one of their starters will be available when the real games matter again.
