The Baltimore Ravens may be without one of their best players when the regular season begins.
Veteran cornerback Marlon Humphrey was scheduled to undergo a foot procedure on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo of NFL Media. He is expected to be sidelined for at least a month, which means he will likely miss the first two games of the season.
#Ravens All-Pro CB Marlon Humphrey is dealing with a foot injury and he's expected to have surgery today, sources say. The hope is he's back in a little over a month. So, out for the first couple games. https://t.co/gkCiVoGuI3

Humphrey, 27, made his third Pro Bowl in six NFL seasons last year. The former Alabama star appeared in all 17 games for the Ravens and had 71 total tackles, 3 interceptions and 3 sacks.
Humphrey’s season was cut short by a torn pectoral muscle in 2021, but he has been fairly durable overall.
Obviously, the Ravens will want to play it safe with Humphrey and make sure he is fully healthy before he returns.
