The Baltimore Ravens are getting ready for the biggest game they have had in 12 years, as they face the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC Championship on Sunday. Now, it appears that they are getting back their elite cornerback Marlon Humphrey.
Baltimore Ravens’ Marlon Humphrey Expected To Play
Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who has been dealing with a calf injury, is expected to play and have a rotational role. While he may not be able to go for every play on defense, having him in the lineup will go a long way in stopping Patrick Mahomes.
Head coach John Harbaugh was confident that Humphrey would be able to play and this is just the right time for Humphrey to come back as when you face Patrick Mahomes you need literally all the help you can get. Harbaugh was quoted in the media on Friday saying:
“He looked good. I’m confident but I can’t say for sure,” Harbaugh said.”
Although Harbaugh mentioned that he is a bit banged up, he is fully confident that Humphrey will be back in the lineup after missing a few weeks to injury.
Marlon Humphrey Could Be The Key For Baltimore Ravens
Lamar Jackson will be having the Ravens offense humming as he has been all year long, and the Chiefs run defense has let up big time stats throughout the year. The key for Baltimore is getting stops against a Chiefs offense that has been playing their best football in the playoffs. Travis Kelce is back to looking like himself and the Chiefs looked unstoppable last week against the Buffalo Bills.
Having Humphrey will back will bolster the secondary that has been playing phenomenal this year. Humphrey has not suited up since playing the Miami Dolphins and although he is banged up a bit, he should be dying to get out on the field in what will be the biggest game of his career. Having him back just makes the Ravens defense that much scarier.
Now it is official that Humphrey is expected to play after missing a few weeks, and it comes at just the right time for this defense that has been historic this season. If any team is going to stop Mahomes it would be Baltimore. Humphrey is the best corner for this team, and he could be the key in getting them to the Super Bowl.
#Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (questionable, calf) is expected to play in Sunday’s AFC title game, per source. Could be in a rotational role but he is slated to be up for gameday.
