Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins was involved in a car accident this week that injured his neck, coach John Harbaugh announced.
Speaking to the media on Friday, Harbaugh shared that the cornerback was ‘fine’ but would miss this weekend’s game against the Raiders.
“He’s healthy, he’s fine, but he’s not going to be able to play,” Harbaugh said.

Nate Wiggins injured his neck in a car accident and will not play this Sunday against the Raiders
Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Wiggins was “fine” but would not play Sunday.
Notably, this is the fourth car accident involving a Ravens player of late, as tight end Mark Andrews was involved in an accident last month on the way to practice, while linebackers Josh Ross and Kyle Van Noy were also involved in car accidents over the summer.
Harbaugh saying After Andrews’ accident, the three-time Pro Bowler had “nothing at all, not a scratch” from the incident.
Andrews said in a statement shared by the team: “This is a great reminder about the importance of wearing a seatbelt and staying alert while driving a car.”
The tight end (as well as Ross and Van Noy) was fine to play in Baltimore’s opener against the Chiefs, though he had a quiet game with just two receptions for 14 yards.
Wiggins, the 30th overall pick in this year’s draft, had two tackles in the contest.
