Ravens CB Nate Wiggins’ foot injury ‘not serious,’ but Steelers game status unclear
The Baltimore Ravens (6-6) had a terrible Thanksgiving, at least during the portion of it spent on the gridiron, as they suffered a brutal 32-14 loss at home to Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals (4-8). Although, in addition to scoring in their playoff pursuit, this team also received some injury news. Sophomore cornerback Nate Wiggins left the game in the first half due to a foot problem and was eventually sent off.
Former Clemson star status looks favorable from a big picture perspectivebut predictions for the crucial match on week 14 are unclear.
“{Ravens head coach} John Harbaugh said Nate Wiggins’ foot injury is not serious in terms of a long-term injury,” ESPN’s Jamison Hensley reported. “Harbaugh is unsure if Wiggins will be available for the Ravens’ next game against the Steelers.”
The Ravens will face a defining moment in their season
Although the Ravens have won five straight to clinch first place in the AFC North, there were still plenty of questions about their overall ability. The answers the fans received on Thursday were difficult to fathom and accept. The Herd don’t have much time to process being destroyed by one of the worst defenses the NFL-watching world has seen, as Baltimore takes on the Pittsburgh Steelers (6-5) at M&T Bank Stadium next Sunday afternoon.
The winner will gain control of the division heading into the final stretch of the campaign, so it goes without saying that Wiggins’ health will be one of the most important topics surrounding this much-anticipated showdown. The 30th pick in the 2024 NFL Draft has recorded three interceptions, seven pass breakups, 36 solo tackles and two tackles for loss in 11 games this season. He permits justly 9.1 yards per reception and a measly 64.1 passer rating, according to Pro Football Focus.
A loss to the Steelers would score off the Lamar Jackson variety and the struggling Ravens are back in desperation mode. With or without Nate Wiggins, this team needs to play much cleaner football. Otherwise, a painful offseason will precede an even more painful offseason.
