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.

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 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 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.

Ravens S Marcus Williams looks ready to play for the first time since suffering a pectoral injury in Week 1. He put in full practices all week and was left off the final injury report. That should knock S Geno Stone back out of the lineup. CB Marlon Humphrey (foot) might be ready to return as well. He put in a full practice Friday after two limited workouts. Humphrey remains questionable for the game, though. We'll see about his status over the weekend.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (groin) and CB Marcus Peters (knee) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Dolphins. Peters put in a full Thursday practice between 2 limited workouts. He missed Week 1 with the same issue. Humphrey popped up limited on Thursday's injury report and then missed Friday's workout. We'll check the status on both corners Sunday morning. Missing both guys would obviously put the defense in a rough spot against Miami WRs Tyreek Hill and Jaylen Waddle.

NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reports that the Ravens fear a torn pectoral muscle for CB Marlon Humphrey. Once confirmed, the injury would end his season and leave the Baltimore secondary without its top cover man.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey suffered an injury late in Sunday's loss to the Steelers. HC John Harbaugh declined to specify the injury afterward but said "it could be a while" before Humphrey returns to the field. We'll watch for specifics on Baltimore's top corner.

Update: NFL Network's Ian Rapoport says Humphrey is "suspected" to be out for the season with a shoulder injury.

Ravens CB Anthony Averett (shoulder, ankle), LB Patrick Queen (ribs), CB Marlon Humphrey (illness) and EDGE Odafe Oweh (shoulder) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers. Humphrey missed the past 2 days of practice with his illness. Oweh popped up on the injury report with a missed Thursday but returned to limited action Friday. Queen finished the week with 2 full practices and appears on track to play. Averett was limited Thursday and Friday after missing Wednesday's practice. We'll update the status for all when inactives come out Sunday.

Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey (knee), S Chuck Clark (hip) and CB Anthony Averett (ankle) are questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos. Averett's injury popped up Thursday and kept him out of Friday's practice. Clark didn't appear on the injury report until a limited Friday practice. Humphrey also showed up only on Friday, and even then as a full participant. The team website reports that he's expected to play.
