Several other players were placed on the PUP reserve lists by Baltimore as well, including NT Travis Jones (pectoral), LB Teddye Buchanan (knee), CB Bilhal Kone (knee), NT John Jenkins (undisclosed) and OLB Adisa Isaac (elbow).

In addition, G/C Corey Bullock was placed on the non-football injury list.

Madubuike suffered a season-ending and career-threatening neck injury in Week 2 last season.

Zrebiec did share that been cleared by independent spine and cervical doctors to return to the field and could be practicing as early as next week.
