Wiggins then “fell hard to the ground” and trainers looked at his left knee and leg with the cornerback in “visible pain.”Hensley also reported that Wiggins “couldn’t put any weight on his left leg when heading into the team facility” and was carted off.When new Ravens head coach Jessie Minter met with reporters shortly after, he didn’t have any new information on Wiggins’ status, with no timetable.”I don’t have a ton of information yet,” Minter said, per Hensley. “I think there’s optimism.”An injury to Wiggins could prove significant for Baltimore, with the 2024 first-rounder beginning to emerge as the team’ lead cornerback. Veterans Marlon Humphrey and Chidobe Awuzie would be thrust into bigger roles without Wiggins, while younger options like T.J. Tampa, Keyon Martin and Chandler Rivers could also see an increase in reps.MORE:Why the Vikings named Kyler Murray QB1 before start of preseason
