Nate Wiggins Injures Left Leg During Ravens Practice

Nate Wiggins, the standout cornerback for the Ravens, had to leave the practice field on Tuesday due to an apparent injury to his left leg, as reported by ESPN’s Jamison Hensley.

The injury happened during a one-on-one drill with wide receiver Jacobi Lane, approximately an hour into practice. Hensley noted that while Wiggins was covering Lane on a go route, the two got tangled up, leading to Wiggins falling to the ground.

Trainers assessed his left leg and knee. Unfortunately, Wiggins couldn’t put weight on his leg and required assistance from a trainer to get back to the team facility.

This incident unfolds after Wiggins had a notable season in 2025, where he started all 17 games and managed to record 76 tackles, three interceptions, and 14 pass defenses. It’s clear he’s become a crucial asset for the team.

The 22-year-old was drafted by the Ravens as their first-round pick (30th overall) in 2024, coming from Clemson.

Head coach Jesse Minter mentioned that Wiggins was undergoing further evaluations post-practice. Minter expressed a lack of detailed information, stating, “I think there’s some optimism,” according to reports.

Interestingly, Wiggins had just returned to full health after undergoing groin surgery earlier in the offseason.

If Wiggins ends up missing games, it would undoubtedly impact a Ravens defense that faced challenges against the pass last season. They allowed over 4,200 passing yards, ranking them third-worst in the NFL.

In his absence, Chidobe Awuzie is likely to step into the starting role, alongside Marlon Humphrey.

Minter emphasized Wiggins’ talent, saying, “Nate Wiggins is an excellent first-round corner. You never think, ‘Oh, it’s all the same,’ because it’s built around the players’ talent. Regardless of any changes, I’m confident about our secondary.”
