The Ravens get a (likely) welcomed bye in Week 7. After that, they expect to get LB Roquan Smith back. Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports that HC John Harbaugh said he expects Smith to play in Week 8. The LB missed the past two games after leaving the Week 4 loss at Kansas City early with his hamstring injury.

The Lamar Jackson injury has garnered understandable headlines in Baltimore this week, but the team might be in even more trouble on defense. The Ravens have ruled LB Roquan Smith, CB Marlon Humphrey, and CB Chidobe Awuzie out for the game. They're already missing DL Nnamdi Madubuike (IR for a neck injury). And some other key defenders look for-real questionable for Sunday's game against the Texans.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith left Sunday's loss to the Steelers with a hamstring injury. He was ruled out before the end of the game. That doesn't bode well for his Week 12 outlook, but we'll watch for status updates this week.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton left Thursday night's game in the first half with a right ankle injury and did not return. The team initially deemed him questionable but ruled Hamilton out before the end of the game. He was wearing a boot on the sideline in the second half, but HC John Harbaugh downplayed the severity after the game.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (knee) is inactive for today's game against the Steelers. He officially entered the day questionable, but we're betting this is more of a rest day in a meaningless game than a true injury issue. We've had Hamilton out of the DB rankings all week.

The Ravens have ruled CB Marlon Humphrey (calf) out for Saturday's game against the Steelers. They list S Kyle Hamilton (knee), CB Brandon Stephens (ankle), and CB Ronald Darby (illness) as questionable. We've had Humphrey, Hamilton, and Stephens out of the DB rankings all week. Even if Hamilton and/or Stephens plays, there's little reason for Baltimore to keep either starter on the field for usual full-time duty. Darby remains in there because he's a fill-in level DB. If he's active, he'll be OK to use in deeper IDP leagues.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton (knee) and CB Brandon Stephens (ankle) went inactive for Sunday's win over the Dolphins. CB Marlon Humphrey left the game with a calf injury. Baltimore clinched the AFC's top playoff seed anyway. Given that, it's hard to imagine the Ravens playing any of those defenders for the Week 18 matchup with Pittsburgh. We'll see whether the team reveals any specific plans for who else will play no or limited snaps. Geno Stone and Marcus Williams played full time at safety vs. Miami. Stone figures to play in Week 18. (He's the third safety.) Williams, however, could be another candidate to sit. He has dealt with multiple injuries throughout the season. Ronald Darby (100%) and Rock Ya-Sin (81%) led CBs in playing time vs. the Dolphins.

Ravens S Kyle Hamilton left Sunday's game against the Rams in the first half with a knee injury and did not return. We'll see about his status heading into a Week 15 trip to Jacksonville.

Update: ESPN's Adam Schefter reports that Hamilton will have an MRI Monday.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring) is active for today's game against the Browns. He'll carry some re-injury risk and isn't a high-level IDP play. But his presence helps the Baltimore D.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey is questionable for Sunday's game against the Browns after sustaining a hamstring injury during the practice week. He saw limited work Thursday and Friday. Missing Humphrey would leave Baltimore without its top cover guy. The Ravens will have S Marcus Williams, though. He practiced in full all week and is off the final injury report after missing the past three contests with a hamstring injury.

Ravens LB Roquan Smith sat out Wednesday's practice with a shoulder injury. We didn't see any report of the issue coming out of Sunday's win over the Lions. Smith did play 89% of snaps as opposed to his usual 100%. But so did four other usual full-timers before leaving the blowout victory early. We'll track Smith's status through the week.

Ravens S Marcus Williams left Sunday's win over the Titans with a hamstring injury. We'll watch for more on his status ahead of a Week 7 matchup with Detroit.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey is active for today's game against the Steelers. That marks his first appearance of the season amid a foot injury. The return of the defense's top corner obviously helps the group on whole. Humphrey doesn't make for a top IDP play this week.
