Nate Wiggins: Everything you need to know

Wiggins (undisclosed) underwent offseason surgery, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports. The nature of Wiggins' surgery is unclear, as new coach Jesse Minter offered no details when speaking with the media at the NFL Scouting Combine on Tuesday. Wiggins, however, did deal with a foot injury in December, though he didn't miss any game action during the 2025 season, finishing with 76 tackles (57 solo) and 14 pass breakups, including three interceptions. Wiggins is expected to be a big part of Minter's defense in Baltimore.

Wiggins recorded 76 total tackles (57 solo) and 14 passes defensed, including three interceptions, over 17 regular-season games in 2025. The 2024 first-round pick from Clemson proved why he's considered one of the NFL's top emerging corners in 2025, leading Baltimore in passes defensed and tying for the 12th-most league-wide. Wiggins played a career-high 1,024 defensive snaps this season, resulting in personal bests in total tackles, passes defensed and interceptions. The 22-year-old remains under contract next season and is expected to continue blossoming as one of the league's premier boundary cornerbacks in 2026.

Wiggins (foot) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. Wiggins hurt his foot in the Ravens' Week 13 loss to the Bengals, but will be good to go for Sunday's rematch with the division rival as they battle for a chance at the AFC North title. The outside cornerback has logged 94 percent of defensive snaps or higher since Week 6, except for Week 13, where he exited early. The 2024 first-rounder will look to get back on track with consecutive games of his now expected volume.
