Marlon Humphrey is training for the Ravens again

Marlon Humphrey is training for the Ravens again

Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (ankle) is questionable to play on Sunday against the Washington Commanders.

Humphrey did not practice on Wednesday and had a limited number of practices on Thursday and Friday.

If he can't play against the Commanders, that would be a bigger burden on a secondary looking to bounce back after a difficult outing in Cincinnati that dropped them to 31st in the league.

However, wide receiver Rashod Bateman (groin) is ready to play after practicing extensively on Friday. He has no injury label.

Ravens exclude two key defenders

The Ravens ruled out defensive lineman Broderick Washington (knee) and linebacker Malik Harrison (groin) after neither practiced all week.

Washington has played 39% of the Ravens' defensive snaps this season and made four tackles in the first five games. Baltimore could roll with four defensive linemen (Nnamdi Madubuike, Michael Pierce, Travis Jones and Brent Urban) or activate veteran Chris Wormley from the practice squad.

Harrison played 16% of the snaps and made 10 tackles. The Ravens have depth at inside linebacker with Chris Board and Josh Ross behind Roquan Smith and Trenton Simpson.

Baltimore also ruled out cornerback Arthur Maulet for a second game after he suffered a hamstring injury after being forced to return from injured reserve.

“Ravens have question marks on the offensive line”

Left tackle Ronnie Stanley (toe) is questionable because he was limited at practice on Thursday and Friday. Rookie right tackle Roger Rosengarten (ankle/hand) returned to full practice Friday and will play.

Left back Andrew Vorhees (ankle) has been training intensively all week and is not injured, meaning he is healthy enough to play. However, the question remains whether he will reclaim his starting spot at left guard or whether Baltimore will continue to play with Rosengarten at right tackle and attack Patrick Mekari at left.

Substitute Sala Aumavae-Laulu (back) returned to training on Friday but is questionable.

The Commanders' leading running back is excluded

Leading running back Brian Robinson Jr. (knee) was sidelined Saturday after not practicing all week. Robinson ranks 14th in the league with 325 rushing yards.

The Commanders will bring back veteran running back Austin Ekeler (heel), who was full-time this week.
