Marlon Humphrey enters Ravens camp pain-free after offseason reset

Marlon Humphrey had one primary goal entering his 10th NFL season. The Baltimore Ravens cornerback wanted to feel healthy again. During an appearance on “The Lounge,” Humphrey revealed that an issue he allowed to linger during training camp affected him throughout the 2025 season. Humphrey’s determination to participate in every practice did more harm than good.

“Last year, man, it was a really tough year from the health perspective,” Humphrey said. “I let something linger for a while, and I kind of pushed really hard to get through training camp.”

Humphrey said he was Baltimore’s only veteran to participate in every training camp practice last year. Team officials encouraged him to take time off, but his old-school mentality would not allow him to walk away after doing only a portion of the work.

“If someone comes up to you and says, ‘We want you to take this day,’ even if you go out there and do a little, I was like, ‘Nah, I’m doing the whole day,'” Humphrey said.

Looking back, Humphrey acknowledged that he should have listened.

The former All-Pro spent about two months in South Korea during the offseason, working with an American trainer and a local rehabilitation specialist. Humphrey assembled a team that helped identify the sources of the discomfort that followed him throughout last season. That work has produced a pain-free start to training camp and allowed Humphrey to enjoy practicing again.

Baltimore still needs Humphrey’s experience, physicality and versatility in the secondary. He has played outside cornerback and in the slot throughout his career, giving the Ravens flexibility when building their defensive packages.

With Nate Wiggins and Chidobe Awuzie alongside him at cornerback, Humphrey should not have to carry the entire secondary. The Ravens need him available and healthy enough to play his aggressive brand of football. After spending much of 2025 fighting through discomfort, Humphrey enters his 10th season feeling healthy and rediscovering the joy that had been missing from practice.
