OWINGS MILLS, Md. — As he spent time evaluating his injuries last season and what he wanted differently from the 2024 campaign, Baltimore Ravens veteran cornerback Marlon Humphrey made a decision. His best seasons — he’s made three Pro Bowl teams and was an All-Pro in 2019 — came when he played at a lighter weight.
After a year in which he missed eight total games and rarely, if ever, felt healthy, it was time to trim down a little bit. Advertisement “I’m around 190. I came in 195,” Humphrey said, crediting the eating plan established for him by Sarah Snyder, the Ravens’ director of sports nutrition.
“I’ve been playing the past couple of seasons around 200 or so, so basically, ever since I tore my pec, I got my grown-man weight on me, and it just never went off. It’s a young man’s game, so I decided to get a little lower.” When training camp began earlier this week , there was a curiosity about Humphrey’s form.
He battled injuries for much of last season, starting with a foot issue that required surgery about midway through last year’s training camp. He participated very little in the various team offseason workouts. He was occasionally seen working out with a member of the athletic training staff on an adjacent field, an activity usually reserved for injured players.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh would say only that Humphrey was dealing with some “nagging” things. Free, daily NFL updates direct to your inbox. Sign up Free, daily NFL updates dir.
