John Harbaugh says Ravens rookie CB Nate Wiggins was in a car accident, will miss Week 2
Per Harbaugh, Wiggins — the Ravens' first-round pick — is fine, but will miss Sunday's game vs. the Raiders
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Nate Wiggins is out for Week 2 after getting into a car accident, head coach John Harbaugh announced Friday.
Wiggins, who was the Ravens' first-round pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, is currently listed on the team's injury report as having a neck injury.
"Nate was in a car accident a couple days ago," Harbaugh said. "He's fine. He's healthy, he's fine, but he's just not going to be able to play."

Wiggins missed practice Thursday with the neck injury, meaning that the accident likely occurred Wednesday after practice.
Wiggins was drafted by Baltimore 30th overall out of Clemson; he was All-ACC in 2023. In Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Wiggins did not start but had a solid debut, playing 17 defensive snaps and 11 special teams snaps.
He will miss Sunday's home game vs. the Las Vegas Raiders, but Harbaugh indicated Wiggins is not likely to miss too much time as a result of the accident.
