Marlon Humphrey Lowers Training‑Camp Workload to Protect 2026 Season

Keeping Humphrey healthy could be key to reviving Baltimore's pass defense under new coach Jesse Minter.

Overview

  • Humphrey said this week that he intentionally dialed back his 2026 training‑camp schedule and is taking scheduled off days after pushing too hard in 2025.
  • Ravens head coach Jesse Minter said Saturday he has 'a lot of confidence' in Humphrey and that the veteran is 'playing his way into rhythm.'
  • Humphrey struggled through injuries in 2025, including a finger cast and lower‑leg issues, missed games and posted a Pro Football Focus grade of 50.1 while allowing a 64.6% completion rate.
  • Baltimore projects a starting cornerback group of Humphrey, Chidobe Awuzie and Nate Wiggins that has upside but is vulnerable if any starter is hurt, and the unit suffered while the team allowed 274.9 passing yards per game last season.
  • Whether the change pays off depends on Humphrey staying healthy and more consistent in coverage and on the Ravens improving their pass rush and coverage support this fall.
