The Baltimore Ravens have a plethora of riches, especially on the defensive side of the ball.
Kyle Hamilton has broken out since being drafted in 2022, 14th overall out of Notre Dame, Roquan Smith has been one of if not the best linebacker in the NFL since being acquired by Baltimore from the Chicago Bears, which earned him a five-year $100 million extension by the Ravens, which if he keeps up his play, he’s easily worth the contract.
Marlon Humphrey is another star on the Ravens, who is one of the top Cornerbacks in the entire NFL, but his main issues have been injuries and is now struggling with more injuries ahead of Minicamp.
Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic listed Humphrey as a player whose stock has fallen throughout OTAs and mandatory minicamp.
An eight-year veteran and three-time Pro Bowler missing most of OTAs and minicamp isn’t a big deal, as long as he doesn’t have a significant injury,” Zrebiec writes. “[John] Harbaugh says Humphrey has been sidelined with ‘nagging things’ and should be ready for training camp. Still, not seeing Humphrey on the field much this offseason conjures up bad memories from last season when the cornerback was limited to 10 games and wasn’t healthy for several of those. He missed five games in 2021, as well. This is a big season for Humphrey, given his rising cap number. The last thing he or the Ravens need are questions about his health and durability.”
Baltimore Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh gave an update on Humphrey’s injuries and his status saying.
Just nagging things. He should be ready for training camp,” Harbaugh said. “It shouldn’t be a problem.”
Humphrey missed time at the start of last season with a foot injury. The two-time Pro Bowler also suffered a calf injury later in the year that forced him to miss some time.
The Ravens drafted Humphrey out of Alabama in the first round of the 2017 NFL Draft. Through seven seasons, Humphrey has 373 combined tackles, 13 interceptions, 13 forced fumbles, and two touchdowns on five fumble recoveries.
