Will Marlon Humphrey Play This Week? Injury Updates for Ravens CB

Ravens Cornerback Marlon Humphrey's Injury Status

Marlon Humphrey, the Baltimore Ravens' star cornerback, suffered a groin injury in the Week 10 loss to the New Orleans Saints. Humphrey did not practice on Wednesday or Thursday, putting his status for Sunday's game against the Carolina Panthers in jeopardy.

Humphrey is one of the Ravens' most important defensive players, and his absence would be a significant blow to the team. The Ravens are already without cornerback Marcus Peters, who is on injured reserve with a calf injury.

Humphrey's Injury History

Humphrey has a history of groin injuries. He missed the final two games of the 2020 season with a groin injury. He also missed two games in 2021 with a groin injury.

Humphrey's groin injury is not believed to be as serious as the one that he suffered in 2020. However, it is still possible that he could miss Sunday's game.

Ravens' Secondary Depth

The Ravens have some depth in their secondary, but Humphrey's absence would still be a big loss. Anthony Averett and Tavon Young are the Ravens' other starting cornerbacks, but neither player has Humphrey's experience or talent.

If Humphrey is unable to play, the Ravens could move safety Chuck Clark to cornerback. Clark has played cornerback in the past, but he is more comfortable at safety.

Ravens' Outlook

The Ravens are 8-2 and in first place in the AFC North. They have a tough game against the Panthers on Sunday, but they should be able to win if Humphrey is able to play.

If Humphrey is unable to play, the Ravens' defense will be less effective. However, the Ravens should still be able to win if their offense can play well.
