Ravens lose Pro Bowl CB Marlon Humphrey in first half due to hamstring injury
Ravens defense dealt another blow with Humphrey injury
Humphrey is the Ravens' best cornerback and his loss is a big blow
The Baltimore Ravens lost Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey to a hamstring injury in the first half of their game against the Jacksonville Jaguars on Sunday. Humphrey was injured on a tackle in the second quarter and was immediately ruled out for the game. His loss is a big blow to the Ravens' defense, which is already without starting safety Marcus Williams.
Humphrey is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL and his absence will be felt. The Ravens will now have to rely on their depth at cornerback, which includes Anthony Averett, Tavon Young, and Jimmy Smith. However, none of those players have the same level of experience or talent as Humphrey.
The Ravens' defense has been one of the best in the NFL this season, but Humphrey's injury is a major setback. The Ravens will now have to find a way to replace his production and keep their defense playing at a high level.
The Ravens are now 8-4 on the season and are in first place in the AFC North. They will host the Pittsburgh Steelers next week in a key divisional matchup.
