All in all, it is certainly good news as Wiggins has played a key role for the Ravens defense since being selected in the first round of the 2024 NFL draft.
Since then, Wiggins has recorded 109 tackles, one forced fumble, 27 passes defensed, four interceptions and one touchdown.
Without Wiggins, the Ravens would have to rely on much more unproven talents in Amani Oruwariye and T.J. Tampa to carry the defensive backfield in his absence.

However, that doesn't seem to be the case and the Ravens are counting their blessings with yet another very important season ahead.
Baltimore hired a new coaching regime led by head coach Jesse Minter this offseason with the hopes it could finally help the team reach its championship expectations.
Only time will tell if that will happen, but having Wiggins in the starting lineup will surely help.
