Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey still has three years remaining on the contract extension he signed with the team during the 2020 season. The 27-year-old is a three-time Pro Bowler, but he's struggled to stay healthy in two of the last three years and isn't consistently making the impactful plays he did earlier in his career. With his salary cap number rising north of $25 million next year, Humphrey probably needs a strong bounce-back season this fall to remain with the Ravens in 2025 and beyond. The former 16th overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft out of Alabama, Humphrey played in a career-low 10 games during the regular season in 2023 and finished with a career-low 26 tackles (22 solo), one interception and only five pass breakups.
Marlon Humphrey Expected To Take Part In Minicamp Next Week
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (undisclosed) is expected to participate in mandatory minicamp practices next week, but head coach John Harbaugh didn't commit to him being a full-go. Humphrey missed seven games last year while dealing with a calf injury, so the Ravens are likely to be extra cautious with the 27-year-old this offseason. Humphrey, a three-time Pro Bowler, has racked up 373 tackles, 5.5 sacks, 13 forced fumbles, 13 interceptions, and 76 pass deflections through his first 100 NFL games. He remains a starter for Baltimore heading into his eighth season with the team, but first-round rookie Nate Wiggins could eat into his or Brandon Stephens' snaps in 2024.
After a positive pregame workout, Baltimore Ravens All-Pro cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) will play in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs, according to a source. Humphrey will play through a calf strain, which is great news for an already strong Ravens defense. It's obviously bad news for the Chiefs offense and most notably rookie receiver Rashee Rice. Fellow cornerback Rock Ya-Sin (knee) is also expected to be active, making the Ravens defense a strong DFS play against a Chiefs offense that wasn't as good in 2023 as in years past. Humphrey, 27, will take on his usual starting role opposite Brandon Stephens after missing each of the team's last two games.
Baltimore Ravens defensive back Marlon Humphrey (calf) is expected to suit up for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs. This is a welcoming sight considering Humphrey has missed the last two games. Luckily, it appears Humphrey will be ready to go in time for this AFC Championship game. He'll join this Ravens secondary that has been one of the best in the league. This Ravens defense unit is the most expensive in DFS contests but could be worth it for this weekend's slate.
Marlon Humphrey, Rock Ya-Sin Questionable Against Chiefs
Baltimore Ravens cornerbacks Marlon Humphrey (calf) and Rock Ya-Sin (knee) are both listed as questionable to play in Sunday's AFC Championship tilt against the Kansas City Chiefs. The good news is that both players put in a full practice on Friday. Meanwhile, linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips (shoulder) is doubtful to play. Humphrey has missed eight games this year due to injury, including each of the team's last two games. However, getting the 27-year-old All-Pro defensive back for a matchup against the defending Super Bowl-champion Chiefs would be big for an already strong defense. If Humphrey is held out for a third straight game, Ronald Darby would likely make another start. The Ravens defense/special teams unit is the second-most expensive fantasy defense for the weekend, behind only the 49ers.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) suffered a calf injury in the Week 17 win over the Miami Dolphins, keeping him sidelined for the Week 18 game against the Pittsburgh Steelers and Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans. However, he returned to practice on Wednesday leading up to the AFC title game matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs. With quarterback Patrick Mahomes coming to Baltimore on Sunday, the Ravens' secondary can use all the help it can get. The three-time Pro Bowler has just five passes defended and one interception in 10 games this year, but he's still an above-average cornerback. His practice status throughout the week will give us a better idea of whether he will suit up for the biggest game of his career.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) missed practice all week and has officially been ruled out for Saturday's Divisional Round playoff contest versus the upstart Houston Texans. In addition to Humphrey, linebacker Del'Shawn Phillips (shoulder) and safety Ar'Darius Washington (pectoral) are listed as questionable for Baltimore's defense. The 27-year-old Humphrey injured his calf in Week 17 and was held out of the Week 18 regular season finale, so he'll be missing his second straight game. The Ravens' defense is certainly strong enough to slow down the Texans offense without Humphrey, but his absence is a notable development as the team goes up against one of the best rookie quarterbacks in NFL history in C.J. Stroud.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) missed practice for the second straight day due to a calf injury. Sitting out Tuesday's and Wednesday's practices is not a good sign for his availability on Saturday against the Houston Texans, but since it's a playoff game, he could play without practicing all week. The Ravens would like to get him back for the first time since Week 17, especially with a matchup against Nico Collins in the AFC Divisional Round coming up. If he can't get healthy enough to suit up, veteran Ronald Darby is the top candidate to see more snaps.
Marlon Humphrey Sitting Out Of Practice On Tuesday
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) is not practicing on Tuesday leading up to the AFC Divisional Round game against the Houston Texans. The 2017 first-round pick suffered a calf injury during the team's Week 17 win over the Miami Dolphins and did not play in Week 18. He has missed seven games this year due to injury, so the Ravens will likely take it easy on him during the week. That said, he is at real risk of missing the game against Houston, which could be problematic. Texans wide receiver Nico Collins has ripped off 371 yards and two touchdowns over his last three games. Needless to say, Baltimore potentially being without their three-time Pro Bowl corner is less than ideal.
Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (calf) won't play in Sunday's clash with the Los Angeles Chargers. The veteran has been battling a calf injury, keeping him out of the Week 11 matchup against the Cincinnati Bengals. Although he had practiced in a limited capacity throughout the week, he's not ready to return. His next chance to suit up will be in Week 14, after the Ravens' bye. Of course, without Humphrey on the field, Justin Herbert and the rest of the offense could have an easier time finding the end zone.
