The Ravens star defender who was carted off is Nate Wiggins, their starting cornerback.
Here's the full picture (from the Nate Wiggins page):
- What happened: On August 11, 2026, Wiggins suffered a left leg injury during one-on-one drills after getting tangled with Ravens WR Ja'Kobi Lane. He was carted off the field for evaluation.
- Status: TBD — no official update on the severity or timeline yet.
- Context: This is especially tough timing. Wiggins had offseason surgery this year and finally entered camp saying he was 100% healthy for the first time since his rookie year. He played through 2025 at just 60-70% capacity and still managed 3 interceptions. He's a key building block in new DC Anthony Weaver's secondary.
The Ravens and head coach Jesse Minter haven't released an update beyond the initial report, so we're waiting on imaging results. I'll flag this as one to watch — if it's serious, it'd be a blow to a secondary that was already under pressure to perform in 2026.
