Baltimore Ravens rookie Nate Wiggins will miss the team’s Week 2 game against the Las Vegas Raiders on Sunday after being in a car accident.

Ravens head coach John Harbaugh disclosed the news to the media Friday. The coach said that although Wiggins is fine, he won’t be ready to play on Sunday.

“Nate was in a car accident a couple days ago," Harbaugh said. "They were kind of working through it. Looks like he’s not going to be able to make it to the game."

The veteran coach added a further note on the young cornerback.

“He’s fine. He’s healthy, he’s fine. He’s just not going to be able to play,” Harbaugh said.

Wiggins was the No. 30 overall pick by Baltimore out of Clemson. The 6-foot-1 cornerback had two tackles in last week's NFL debut against the Kansas City Chiefs.
