Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins involved in car accident and out of Raiders game with neck injury

Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins was involved in a car accident this week that left him with a neck injury, coach John Harbaugh announced.

Speaking to the media on Friday, Harbaugh said the cornerback was “fine” but would miss this weekend's game against the Raiders.

“He's healthy, he's doing well, but he's just not going to be able to play,” Harbaugh said.

The coach did not provide any further details about the accident.

The Ravens hope to get Wiggins back for their Sunday night game against the Cowboys in Week 3.

Notably, this is the fourth car accident involving a Ravens player recently. Tight end Mark Andrews was involved in an accident on his way to practice last month, and linebackers Josh Ross and Kyle Van Noy were also involved in accidents over the summer.

Harbaugh said after Andrews' accident that the three-time Pro Bowler suffered “nothing at all, not a scrape” in the incident.

Andrews was apparently not wearing a seat belt, as he said in a statement shared by the team: “This is a good reminder of the importance of wearing a seat belt and staying alert when driving.”

The tight end (as well as Ross and Van Noy) was well positioned for Baltimore's opener against the Chiefs, but had a quiet game with only two catches for 14 yards.

Wiggins, who was selected 30th in this year's draft, had two tackles in the contest.
