# Will Nnamdi Madubuike return to the Ravens in 2026?

Here's what the wiki has on Nnamdi Madubuike's situation (from the [Nnamdi Madubuike page](https://chatffb.com/players/nnamdi-madubuike)):

**Yes, he's expected to return to the Ravens in 2026** — assuming he gets medical clearance. Madubuike is still under contract (four-year, $98M extension signed before 2024) and has never been a free agency or trade candidate.

The key variable is his health. He underwent **neck surgery in April 2026** after a Week 1 injury in 2025 sidelined him for the rest of that season. On July 16, Ravens GM **Eric DeCosta said Madubuike is "trending in the right direction"** and that the team expects clarity on his playing status within weeks.

Before the injury, he'd played 55 consecutive games and had 2 sacks in just two games to start 2025, so the team clearly sees him as a core piece when healthy.
