OWINGS MILLS — Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins left Friday’s first preseason game with a shoulder issue, but it’s not considered serious, coach John Harbaugh said on Sunday.
The Ravens got another scare at practice on Sunday when All-Pro safety Kyle Hamilton came down awkwardly on his left leg and had to leave the practice with about an hour remaining. Harbaugh said it appears as if Hamilton will be fine.
“It looks stable, it looks good,” Harbaugh said about Hamilon’s leg. “Obviously, we’ll continue to some tests tonight and tomorrow to make sure, but the first indications are that he is fine.”
Wiggins was having a solid game against the Philadelphia Eagles in the preseason opener and broke up three passes on the opening drive. Wiggins went to the locker room with a shoulder injury early in the third quarter after he attempted to make a tackle.
Wiggins was checked at the medical tent before walking to the locker room accompanied by the team’s medical staff. Wiggins did not return to the game and did not practice on Sunday.
Harbaugh did not provide a timeline for Wiggins’ potential to return to practice.
“Wiggins is not a serious injury,” Harbaugh said.
The Ravens selected Wiggins with the 30th pick in the 2024 NFL draft. It was the first cornerback the team selected in the first round since Humphrey was the 16th overall pick in 2017.
Wiggins is a lockdown defensive back who allowed just one completion of 20-plus yards last season at Clemson. He ran a 4.28-second 40-yard dash at the NFL Combine, so he has the speed to keep up with NFL wide receivers.
Last season, the Ravens ranked second in the NFL with 18 interceptions. Wiggins could help them remain high on that list.
In addition, rookie safety Sanoussi Kane left the game after a big hit in the middle of the field and was ruled out with a stinger. Harbaugh said he doesn’t think it will be a long-term issue.
