Ravens DL Nnamdi Madubuike had neck surgery last week and is expected to be ready to play this season, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Ravens DL Justin Madubuike entered the league concussion protocol after Sunday night's win over the Chargers. Fortunately for his return timeline, Baltimore gets a Week 13 bye. We'll watch Madubuike's status heading into a Week 14 home date with the Rams. Most players have made it back after missing a single game this season.

Baltimore on Friday placed 4 front-7 players on the COVID list, meaning they'll all miss at least Sunday's game in Detroit. The players are DTs Brandon Williams and Justin Madubuike, and EDGE defenders Justin Houston and Jaylon Ferguson. None makes a huge fantasy difference for either IDP usage or the Baltimore team defense's upside, but their absences certainly soften the matchup for Detroit's offense. Losing Brandon Williams, in particular, weakens the Ravens' run D -- a help for Lions RBs D'Andre Swift and Jamaal Williams.
