The Baltimore Ravens continue to march confidently through this <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, especially after a crucial victory last Thursday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Led by the talented <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a>, John Harbaugh‘s squad managed to secure the win despite a tense finish. However, one of Lamar’s key teammates was highly critical of the level of play displayed by the team.



To have championship aspirations, it’s not enough to simply play well; you also need to know how to win the crucial games—and that’s exactly what the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a> did this past Thursday Night Football. However, not everyone was satisfied with the performance displayed on the field, and it was made clear.



<a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marlon-humphrey">Marlon Humphrey</a>, the experienced player on the Baltimore roster, spoke with the media and shared his thoughts on the victory, as well as how the team needs to improve looking ahead to what’s next: “We’ve just got to play better. I’ve got to play better; we’ve all got to play better. We’ve got to play as a unit, and we’re just not doing that.”



The experienced cornerback expressed frustration over the team’s failure to showcase the talent they possess during the game. “[There’s] really nothing really more to say. We’ve got to keep working. We’ve got to take the practice to the game. [We had] a great practice week … What is missing there from how we’re practicing to how we’re playing in the game? It’s become clear that it’s something,” Humphrey told reporters.

“I think each guy has got to look at themselves in the mirror and figure out, ‘Why are you not playing how you practice something?’ You practice this route concept [and then in] the game, you don’t do it how you practice. It’s becoming more of a mental thing, I think, but we’ve got to get that fixed,” he added.

<h2>Humphrey and the goal to keep on growing</h2>



The important victory over the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/cincinnati-bengals">Bengals</a> this past Thursday provided a boost for the final stretch of the season, although, of course, they’re not satisfied with the level of play. At least that’s how Humphrey made it clear after the game.



“These wins are getting harder to enjoy based off of what we’re doing in the pass defense. I feel like when I was a rookie – first-year guy, second-year guy – the vets I looked up to [and] the standard that was there and the pass defense… We’ve really lost that standard, and I feel like that falls on me,” the CB stated.



Humphrey finally concluded: “We’re going to keep chasing at it. We’re going to keep working at it, because I’m not really satisfied with what I’ve built in this secondary [and] where it’s gone. I just don’t think [with us] playing like this [that] we can go far. It’s cool winning; it’s great we’re winning, but I want to go far; I want to go to the end. The way we’re playing … Something has got to change.”



<h2>Ja’Marr Chase: A nightmare for the Ravens</h2>



Humphrey didn’t hold back any comments or feelings following the win over Cincinnati, and one of the key points he addressed was his experience facing the talented Ja’Marr Chase, who caused havoc for the Ravens’ defense.



“I’m tired of that dude. [Ja’Marr Chase] is just different. It’s not even so much about the route he runs – whatever. It’s just, [when] he gets the ball in his hands, if you don’t tackle him soon, it can get really ugly. He’s a good player. You never really can count the Bengals out when he’s on their team. I think he had like 200, like over 250 [receiving yards], which is rough, which is rough,” Humphrey told reporters.

The significant victory the Baltimore Ravens achieved last Monday in the NFL against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers not only secured a key lead in the AFC North but also brought concerns about an injury to a key player on <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a>‘s team. However, it has been reported that the injury is not serious, and Coach Harbaugh’s squad will be able to rely on him in the short term.



The player in question is none other than cornerback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marlon-humphrey">Marlon Humphrey</a>, who had to leave the field during the recent Monday Night Football matchup against the Bucs after tweaking his knee in the first half. It was initially feared to be a serious injury for the player.



However, NFL reporter Ian Rapoport clarified that Humphrey’s situation is expected to be less serious than initially thought, and that his condition will be monitored daily to assess his progress moving forward.



Through his X account, Rapoport stated: “Ravens All-Pro CB Marlon Humphrey did not suffer a major knee injury last week, sources say following tests. He’s walking around with little discomfort. But after two INTs last week, Humphrey’s status is up in the air this week, and time will tell how quickly he can recover.”

Marlon Humphrey ended up getting injured while making an interception toward the end of the first half when he collided with Nate Wiggins. Although he was initially labeled as questionable, he ultimately could not return to the field during the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>‘ victory over Tampa.

<h2>Humphrey’s injuries this season</h2>



With seven weeks into the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/nfl">NFL</a> season, the veteran cornerback for the Ravens has unfortunately had to exit a game early more than once, as he did last Monday against Tampa Bay.



Marlon Humphrey sustained an ankle injury during the game against the Cincinnati Bengals in Week 5 and was spotted in a boot after the match. His availability was uncertain for the following week, but he ultimately took the field in Week 6 against the Washington Commanders.



If the situation is similar, <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">Harbaugh</a>‘s squad may opt to hold out Humphrey for the next game to allow for a more complete recovery, enabling him to return stronger for future matchups.



<h2>Which games could Humphrey miss?</h2>



While the final diagnosis of Marlon Humphrey’s injury and his recovery timeline are still unknown, here are the upcoming games that the Baltimore Ravens will face:



<ul><li>vs Cleveland Browns, Week 8</li><li>vs Denver Broncos, Week 9</li><li>vs Cincinnati Bengals, Week 10</li><li>vs Pittsburgh Steelers, Week 11</li><li>vs Los Angeles Chargers, Week 12</li></ul>

The Baltimore Ravens are slowly transforming into the NFL‘s breakout team, especially following their surprising victory over the Bengals last weekend. However, their next matchup is against the Washington Commanders, and <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/lamar-jackson">Lamar Jackson</a>‘s squad could be without a key player due to injury.



Coached by <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/john-harbaugh">John Harbaugh</a>, the team has been performing at a high level. Next Sunday, they will not only face a tough opponent in the Commanders, led by the impressive Jayden Daniels, but reports indicate they could do so without one of their most consistent players on defense.



The player in question is none other than cornerback <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/marlon-humphrey">Marlon Humphrey</a>, who was seen with a boot on his leg after the game against the Bengals. According to Bo Smolka of PressBox, Humphrey did not participate in Wednesday’s practice with the rest of the team.



“Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, who was seen wearing a walking boot after the Bengals game, was not on the practice field Wednesday.” Smolka stated on his X account @bsmolka.

Humphrey has become a key piece of the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Ravens</a>‘ defense, recording two interceptions along with several critical stops in key moments of games.

<h2>Potential replacements for Humphrey</h2>



If Humphrey’s absence is confirmed for the upcoming Sunday matchup against the Washington Commanders, head coach John Harbaugh will be considering potential replacements for a key position, opting for a player with a different style.



The Ravens would have to rely heavily on Brandon Stephens and rookie Nate Wiggins if Humphrey is out of the lineup. Another alternative is to include T.J. Tampa in the starting roster.

A new challenge has merged for the <a href="https://bolavip.com/en/topic/baltimore-ravens">Baltimore Ravens</a> the last two years. They were the best team in the division until the Cincinnati Bengals broke through with Joe Burrow at the helm, so they must be ready from the first game.



Keeping quarterback Lamar Jackson with a long-term extension was essential in that regard. They are still going to face the Bengals, but they were able to go toe-to-toe with them in the playoffs even without Jackson.


<div class="wp_fsn_relatedlinks" id="BUS#20230815#BUS#46741"></div>


Baltimore have always possessed dominant defenses throughout history, and they maintain that specific characteristic. However, they recently confirmed that one of the main members of this unit had to undergo surgery.



<h2>Marlon Humphrey Undergoes Foot Surgery</h2>



Marlon Humphrey is the player who had to undergo surgery to repair a foot injury. Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed the news after practice, providing an encouraging update regarding the return of the cornerback.



“It’s been a lingering thing and they took a look at it and said, ‘You know what, that’s something we want to take care of now instead of waiting. ‘There’s no long-term concern, and that’s good”, Harbaugh said via Ryan Mink of Ravens’ official website.



Despite the coach didn’t give any timeline for Humphrey’s comeback, the estimation is that he won’t miss a lot of time. He may be out for around a month while he recovers, as was reported by Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
