The Ravens secondary appears ready to play, but Baltimore's sack leaders this season and last are still missing from practice.
Cornerback Nate Wiggins (groin) was back on the field Friday afternoon, but defensive tackle Nnamdi Madubuike (neck) was not, as the Ravens gear up for "Monday Night Football" against the Detroit Lions.
Madubuike paces the Ravens with two sacks so far this season. Outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who led the team with 12.5 sacks last season, is not practicing as he rehabs a hamstring injury suffered Sunday versus the Browns.
Fullback Patrick Ricard (calf) remains out, and running back Rasheen Ali (concussion) shed his red non-contact jersey. Nose tackle John Jenkins (personal) was also at the start of practice.
It's crucial for the Ravens to get pressure on Lions quarterback Jared Goff, who is a rhythm, drop-back pocket passer. The Green Bay Packers sacked him four times in Week 1 and the Lions offense sputtered. When Goff was sacked zero times last week by the Chicago Bears, he threw five touchdowns.
Getting Wiggins back on the field is big for a defense that also needs to contain Detroit's many weapons in the passing game, including wide receivers Amon-Ra St. Brown and Jameson Williams. Wiggins is best suited to match Williams' speed and is coming off a strong game against the Browns in which he grabbed an interception.
