Keep up with the latest injuries from the Ravens vs Bengals game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Dec 5, 2025
Ready for Week 14
Wiggins (foot) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Ravens.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was subject to an early exit last Thursday against the Bengals, but the cornerback was able to upgrade to a full participant in practice Friday. The starter should be good to go for Sunday, and will retake his spot at outside cornerback across from Chidobe Awuzie for another divisional matchup.
Dec 3, 2025
Begins week with limited practice
Wiggins (foot) was limited in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed the end of Baltimore's Thanksgiving loss to the Bengals due to a foot injury. Coach Jim Harbaugh said Monday that Wiggins is day-to-day, and the second-year cornerback's limited practice session Wednesday supports that assessment. The extent to which Wiggins is in danger of missing Sunday's matchup versus Pittsburgh should become more clear with his status during the Ravens' next two practice sessions.
Dec 1, 2025
Labeled as day-to-day
Head coach Jon Harbaugh told reporters Monday that Wiggins (foot) is considered day-to-day, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro from Clemson exited the Week 13 loss to the Bengals due to a foot injury, but it now appears he avoided a serious issue. Wiggins is an integral part of Baltimore's secondary, recording 47 total tackles and nine passes defensed, including three interceptions, across 12 appearances this season. His practice participation throughout the week will likely offer the best indication of whether he can play in Sunday's divisional matchup against the Steelers.
Nov 27, 2025
Won't return vs. Cincinnati
Wiggins (foot) has been ruled out for the rest of Thursday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins went to the locker room late in the second quarter due to a foot injury, which has been deemed severe enough by medical staff for the second-year corner to not return to Thursday's game. T.J. Tampa will take on a larger role at outside corner opposite Chidobe Awuzie the rest of the way.
Nov 25, 2025
Two stops against Jets
Wiggins recorded two tackles (two solo) in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins has been very active in recent weeks, with Sunday's performance marking his lowest tackle total since Week 6. He's been on the field for at least 98 percent of defensive snaps for five straight games, and should be in for a good Week 13 showing against a pass-heavy Bengals' offense.
Nov 18, 2025
Records third interception
Wiggins recorded four tackles (four solo), one interception and one pass defensed in Sunday's 23-16 win over the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins made a key interception midway through the third quarter, setting the Ravens up with excellent field position. He now has three picks on the season, two of which have come against the Browns. Wiggins has also recorded at least four stops for the fourth straight game, something he achieved only twice in his first six contests.
Nov 11, 2025
Posts seven stops vs. Minnesota
Wiggins logged seven tackles (six solo) and one pass defense during the Ravens' 27-19 win over the Vikings on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins led the Ravens with seven stops Sunday while playing 64 of 65 defensive stops (98.5 percent). The second-year corner has recorded at least five tackles in four of his last five games and is up to 39 tackles (30 solo) and six pass defenses (two interceptions) through nine regular-season games.
Oct 31, 2025
Logs six tackles in Week 9 win
Wiggins registered six tackles (four solo) during the Ravens' 28-6 win over the Dolphins on Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was tied for the third most tackles on the Ravens on Thursday. He was one of four Baltimore defenders to play all 64 defensive snaps, which is the first time he's played every single defensive snap this season. After opening the regular season with 19 tackles (13 solo) and four pass defenses (one interception) through six games, Wiggins has posted 13 tackles (10 solo) and an interception in the two contests since the Ravens' Week 7 bye.
Oct 28, 2025
On track to play Thursday
Wiggins (groin) was a full participant at practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was only able to manage a limited practice Monday due to a groin issue, but he now seems to be back to 100 percent ahead of Thursday's game. Baltimore should lean on him heavily to try to slow down the likes of Jaylen Waddle and Malik Washington in Week 9.
Oct 27, 2025
Dealing with groin issue
Wiggins (groin) was considered to be a limited participant at Monday's walkthrough.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins popped up on the estimated injury report with an apparent groin issue. The cornerback recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-16 win over Chicago, and he may have suffered the injury in the process. Wiggins will have two more chances to log a full session before Thursday Night Football against Miami.
Oct 27, 2025
Picks off Williams in Week 8
Wiggins recorded seven total tackles (six solo) and an interception in Sunday's 30-16 win over the Bears.
ANALYSIS
The second-year pro from Clemson made a huge impact during Sunday's win, setting a new personal best with seven total tackles. Additionally, he picked off Caleb Williams in the fourth quarter to help secure Baltimore's first win since Week 2. Wiggins is starting to emerge as one of the league's premier outside cornerbacks, recording 26 total tackles and five passes defended, including two interceptions, through seven games this season. He's expected to continue causing problems for opposing quarterbacks in the Week 9 matchup against the Dolphins.
Oct 7, 2025
Fives tackles vs. Houston
Wiggins (elbow) logged five tackles (three solo) during Baltimore's 44-10 loss to Houston on Sunday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins suffered an elbow injury during the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs, but the 2024 first-rounder was cleared to play against the Texans after logging a full practice Friday. Sunday marked the second time that Wiggins logged at least five stops this season, and he is up to 17 tackles (12 solo) and four pass defenses (including one interception) through the first five games of the 2025 campaign.
Oct 2, 2025
Limited in Thursay's session
Wiggins (elbow) was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins appeared to suffer a severe elbow injury during the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs after he was carted off the field. He was unable to practice Wednesday, but his ability to practice in at least a limited capacity Thursday is a sign that the injury is not as serious as once feared. Friday's practice report will provide insight on Wiggins chances of suiting up for Sunday's home bout against the Texans. Jaire Alexander, T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin could play a key role in the Ravens' secondary for Sunday's game if one or more of Wiggins, Chidobe Aquzie (hamstring) and Marlon Humphrey (calf) were to be sidelined.
Oct 1, 2025
Absent from practice
Wiggins (elbow) did not participate at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was carted off the field in Sunday's 37-20 loss to the Chiefs, suffering an elbow injury in the fourth quarter. The cornerback will have two more chances to return to practice ahead of the team's Week 5 matchup with the Texans.
Sep 28, 2025
Carted to locker room
Wiggins was carted to the locker room after suffering an elbow injury during Sunday's game against the Chiefs and is questionable to return, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins appeared to sustain the injury while tackling Isiah Pacheco early in the fourth quarter. He's considered questionable to return, but Wiggins is unlikely to return to the contest given that he was carted off the field and the deficit that the Ravens face. T.J. Tampa and Keyon Martin will see more work with the first-team defense due to the absences of Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey (calf).
Sep 20, 2025
Good to go versus Lions
Wiggins (groin) isn't listed on Baltimore's injury report ahead of Monday's game versus the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed some practice earlier in the week but is officially good to go for Monday's matchup. He should continue to serve as one of the team's starting outside cornerbacks after having racked up eight tackles (seven solo) and an interception across the first two games of the season.
Sep 19, 2025
Increases involvement
Wiggins (groin) logged a limited practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins popped up on the injury report Thursday and did not practice. His increased involvement Friday is encouraging for his status for a Week 3 matchup against Detroit, though Saturday's injury report should provide a better indication if Wiggins will be able to suit up Monday.
Sep 18, 2025
Misses practice Thursday
Wiggins (groin) did not practice Thursday.
ANALYSIS
It's unclear when Wiggins suffered the groin injury, as the Ravens didn't announce an injury for him during last Sunday's win over the Browns, in which Wiggins logged 95 percent of the defensive snaps. Chidobe Awuzie and Jaire Alexander would be in line for heavy snaps on defense if Wiggins is unable to play Monday against the Lions.
Jan 23, 2025
Six starts in rookie season
Wiggins finished the 2024 regular season with 33 tackles (25 solo), one forced fumble, 13 pass defenses and a pick-six across 15 games.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins spent most of his rookie season in a rotational role at outside corner with Tre'Davious White, though the former did manage to start in six games, including in three of the Ravens' last four games of the regular season. Wiggins best moment of 2024 came midway through the first quarter of the Ravens' regular-season finale against the Browns, when he picked off Bailey Zappe and returned it 26 yards for a touchdown. Wiggins is likely to be one of Baltimore's two starting outside cornerbacks for 2025, especially if Brandon Stephens takes his talents elsewhere in free agency.
Oct 31, 2024
Practices in full Thursday
Wiggins (shoulder/illness) was a full practice participant Thursday.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed the Ravens' Week 8 loss to the Browns due to an illness and shoulder injury. He was able to practice without limitations Thursday, indicating that the rookie first-rounder should be good to go against Denver on Sunday. Across six regular-season outings, Wiggins has logged 13 tackles (nine solo), seven pass breakups and one forced fumble.
Oct 30, 2024
Logs limited session Wednesday
Wiggins (shoulder/illness) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was unable to suit up for Baltimore's Week 8 loss to the Browns due to an illness and a shoulder injury; however, Wednesday's limited practice session indicates he could play in Week 9's matchup against the Broncos. The 2024 first-round pick's participation Thursday and Friday will likely be the most telling regarding his potential availability for Sunday.
Oct 26, 2024
Won't suit up Week 8
The Ravens announced Saturday that Wiggins (shoulder/illness) has been downgraded to out for Sunday's road matchup against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was initially labeled as questionable for Sunday's divisional matchup, but the rookie first-round pick will ultimately be unavailable for Baltimore in Week 8. Across six regular-season appearances this season, Wiggins has tallied 13 tackles (9.0 solo), seven passes defensed and one forced fumble.
Oct 25, 2024
Questionable vs. Cleveland
Wiggins (shoulder/illness) was limited in practice Friday and is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins opened the week as a DNP due to a shoulder injury. He was able to practice in full Thursday, but in addition to working through his shoulder issue, he has also picked up an illness which has put him in jeopardy of missing Sunday's game. Wiggins' status will be known when the Ravens release their list of inactive players 90 minutes before the 1:00 p.m. ET kickoff.
Sep 22, 2024
Active for Week 3
Wiggins (neck/concussion) is active for Sunday's game at Dallas.
ANALYSIS
Despite not logging a full practice during the week leading up to Sunday's contest, Wiggins will don his pads at the Cowboys. He projects for a rotational role behind top cover guys Marlon Humphrey and Brandon Stephens.
Sep 20, 2024
Questionable for Week 3
Wiggins (neck/concussion) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Cowboys.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was able to get in limited practices Thursday and Friday after being listed as DNP Wednesday. It's a good sign for the first-round rookie's availability for Sunday after he missed Week 2. Wiggins played 17 defensive snaps in the season opener versus Kansas City.
Sep 19, 2024
Able to practice Thursday
Wiggins (neck/concussion) was limited in Thursday's practice session.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was forced to sit out Week 2 against the Raiders after sustaining a neck injury in a car accident in the week leading up to the game. Wiggins' participation in Friday's practice will provide clarity on his status for Week 3 against the Cowboys. The rookie first-round pick logged two tackles (one solo) in the Ravens' regular-season opener against the Chiefs.
Sep 18, 2024
Opens week as DNP
Wiggins (neck/concussion) did not participate in Wednesday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins continues to nurse a neck injury he sustained in a car accident leading up to Week 2 against the Raiders. The 21-year-old corner will have two more chances to practice ahead of the Ravens' Week 3 matchup against the Cowboys.
Sep 16, 2024
Could practice this week
Head coach John Harbaugh told reporters Monday that he's hopeful Wiggins (neck) can return to practice this week, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed the Ravens' Week 2 loss after sustaining a neck injury in a car accident earlier that week, but it now appears he could be nearing a return to the field. However, if the 2024 first-round pick needs more recovery time, expect Eddie Jackson so see increased snaps with Baltimore's first-team defense, as he did last week.
Sep 13, 2024
Won't play Week 2
Wiggins (neck) has been ruled out ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins was unable to practice both Thursday and Friday after sustaining a neck injury in a car accident earlier in the week, so it's no surprise that the 2024 first-round pick won't be suiting up for Baltimore's home opener. Expect Jalyn Armour-Davis and rookie T.J. Tampa to see increased work in the Ravens' secondary while Wiggins remains sidelined.
Sep 12, 2024
Pops up on injury report
Wiggins (neck) did not practice Thursday, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins practiced in full Wednesday, so it appears the rookie corner is dealing with a new injury. The late addition to the injury report is typically bad news when it comes to suiting up for the next game, but he'll have the opportunity to get back on the field Friday in preparation for Sunday's matchup with the Raiders.
Aug 15, 2024
Back at practice Thursday
Wiggins (shoulder) returned to practice Thursday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins missed a little less than a week of practice time. The first-round rookie's 2024 role is unclear, as Baltimore's cornerback depth chart has yet to really shake out behind veteran Marlon Humphrey. Brandon Stephens and Arthur Maulet are also in the mix for starting reps.
Aug 11, 2024
Considered day-to-day
Wiggins is considered day-to-day after suffering a shoulder injury during Friday's preseason game against the Eagles, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
The 2024 first-round pick is expected to be ready for Week 1, per Rapoport. Wiggins' role for the Ravens remains unclear, though he possesses speed (4.28-second 40), coverage skills and a track record as the top cover corner for an elite Clemson defense in 2023. His size (6-foot-1, 173 pounds), though, was a slight concern coming out of college.
Aug 10, 2024
Avoids serious injury
The Ravens are hopeful that Wiggins (shoulder) will be ready for Week 1, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Wiggins injured his shoulder in Friday's 16-13 preseason loss to the Eagles. A top defender for a Clemeson's top tier defense in 2023, the cornerback was selected 30th overall by the Ravens. Although he could be viewed as a slight project, the rookie figures to make an impact in the secondary at some point this season when healthy.
Aug 9, 2024
Questionable to return
Wiggins is considered questionable to return to Friday's preseason game against the Eagles due to a shoulder injury, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Given it is simply an exhibition game, expect the Ravens to err on the side of caution with Wiggins. It is unclear at this point in time how serious his injury is. The rookie was a top defender on Clemson's smothering pass defense last season, and a first-round selection for Baltimore in the offseason's draft.
