 Just when things as Ravens fans were feeling pretty good even though we had a few holes on the roster hand them Particularly at cornerback and a little bit at edge and whatnot, but we figured you know We could sign some guys and we could patch that up real quick We're gonna be straight as long as we got Marlon Humphrey and Rocky seen back by the regular season. We're gonna be a okay but now That's looking like it's in doubt Because Ravens got probably the most significant bad news of this off-season thus far Because Marlon Humphrey has an injury. We were watching the practice and they were talking about oh Marlon Humphrey He's not practicing today. I didn't think anything of it. I thought okay Maybe they just protected Marlon Humphrey a little extra like they've been protecting Ronnie Stanley a lot extra They've been protecting his ankle just holding them out of practice. Okay, wait about it But then this came out from Mike Garofalo He said Ravens Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey is expected to miss time with an injury that may Require a medical procedure and His status for the start of the season is now up in the air sources tell me in Tom Palacero So that scares me that should scare all of us as Ravens fans This is some of the worst news that the Ravens could possibly get because Cornerback is already a super super super super extremely thin position for them with so much unknown Now your best corner your hundred million dollar corner the best cornerback that you have on your roster is out for We don't know how long and see the thing that got me the thing that got me with this The thing that really worried me about this is that it didn't just say week one It didn't say we go it didn't say oh Pro Bowl Marl Pro Bowl quarterback Marlon Humphrey is expected to miss time with an injury that may require a medical procedure And his status for week one is now up in the air. It didn't say that it said his status for the start of the season So the start of the season could mean a lot of different things It could mean week one. It could mean week two. It could mean the first four weeks so This is scary stuff If you're Ravens fan, you should be worried you really should be especially with the the cornerback situation right now It's like we talk about this literally every single every single year without fail the cornerback room They get tested like crazy with injuries every single year. It never failed ever never fails And this year is no different now It is partially good news because it doesn't say that he's gonna be out for the year So we'll of course take that all day But he is gonna be missing sometime how long that is we don't know Um So in my Garofalo just added to it He said Marlon Humphrey finished the Ravens joint practice with the commanders yesterday But it's not on the field today his status for the foreseeable future is to be determined That that makes it even scarier That makes it even scarier because when people talk about the foreseeable future That could indicate a Long-term type of thing, but again, he did just say his status for the beginning of the season is up in the air right now So now we just got to wait Now we just got to wait that that wow that is like that sucks. This sucks. This is terrible This is terrible news for the Ravens terrible news like terrible It is not the end all be all but it is really really bad a lot of us has talked about this off season I've seen a lot of Ravens fans saying it That they felt like but and this was before the baller Humphrey injury They felt like corner back corner back the way that the corner backs is was set up but even before it's injury like that could make or break the season because Injury to hear injury there and it's rough It's rough. So Yeah, this is a wow, this is um And see this puts more pressure on The pass rush This puts more pressure on the edge guys on the outside linebackers on the defense on the defensive line This puts a lot more pressure on them because now Everybody behind you just got that much worse not calling them bad But with Marlon Humphrey in there, they are much better with Marlon Humphrey out there. They're much worse His impact is huge Marlon Humphrey can shut down the side of the field You'll have his hiccups here and there for sure But he pretty much can shut down the side of the field He could take his wide receiver whether he playing inside whether he playing outside. He can take his wide receiver out the game But now he's out the game So now what are you gonna do? Hmm I See the scariest part is that we just don't know what it is yet We don't even know what it is yet That's the scariest part about it. Like it's not like oh Marlon Humphrey got a sprain ankle He is expected to miss two to four weeks. Oh Marlon Humphrey. He's dealing with a hamstring injury He's expected to miss the next three to five weeks It's nothing. We don't know what it is and that's the scariest part since we don't know So this could be something minor this could be something major but the fact that they're talking about he It may require a medical procedure And that's probably the nicest way to put that That's probably the Like the lightest way to put it. It may require a medical procedure. It might require surgery That's just being straighter. It may require surgery But he put it like maybe he put it like because hopefully whatever the injury is It is like it's nothing crazy. It's nothing too bad. It's nothing too significant. Hopefully And now with Ravens While we talked about this puts a lot more pressure on the pass rush on the defensive line And on the rest of the secondary to just really on the defense as a whole um This also puts more pressure on their offense too and This the offense With malin Humphrey being out Ravens offense just We got to be dependent on them Now again, they still got some playmakers on the defensive side of the ball But the offense they got to do that much more in my opinion They have to Because if the offense and I mean this was but even before malin Humphrey was out But now with him being out for who knows how long Offense really got to step up They got to And it's crazy. We talking about the offense having to step up and we didn't even start the regular season yet We didn't start the regular season yet But if the offense can put up a bunch of points Rack up them points man long drives rack up points score Then that can make life for the defense A lot easier And for as long as malin Humphrey is going to be out who knows how long it's going to be But that'll make their jobs easier Um, so let's see what I'm hoping Happens with malin Humphrey. Hopefully this is just It ends up being nothing. Um, and it ends up He he can play week one and he'll be completely healthy now What I hope the worst case scenario is Is that malin Humphrey? Uh, if he's out for any amount of time that They It's an injury where they carry him on the initial 53 man roster And then they just put him on injury reserve After they do the 53 man roster, that means that he could come back this year And I would expect that to be the case based off of how Mike Garofalo explained it But still we just don't know right now, but that that's what I'm hoping is the worst case scenario Um, because we don't need it to be any worse than that to where He couldn't be on the roster, but I don't it doesn't sound like that to be the case But it's still a big blow man. This is still a really really big blow to the baltimore ravens today Not only just their second day, but just the entire team Malin Humphrey, obviously one of the best players on the team, but also malin Humphrey one of the leaders He was stepping up as a leader Uh, especially over really over the past couple years Not even just this year, but over the past couple of years malin Humphrey just being a lot more vocal Just really stepping into that leadership role Uh, because malin Humphrey has consistently been a really good player and he's gotten better and better and better So I don't think he let up. I don't think he allowed a touchdown See, that's why this is so significant because like even numbers like that. He didn't allow a touchdown last year, man This dude did not give up one single touchdown last year. I believe I got a double check, but I'm like 99.9 percent sure He did not give up a single touchdown last year. Now that's out for who knows how long You got somebody that didn't give up no points at the cornerback position one of the hardest positions to play on the field They didn't give up no points in the whole year in the whole season That's crazy That don't make no sense. That's that's crazy. No touchdowns allowed. It's amazing so Yeah, man, that's that's that man. So we'll we'll we'll see man. We'll see we'll see um How this thing goes we'll see what happens with malin Humphrey and like I said, if I find out anything I'll let y'all not know if y'all find out anything.
