The Baltimore Ravens are expected to get one of their top defensive playmakers back for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game.
Per ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, cornerback Marlon Humphrey, who has been dealing with a calf injury, is expected to play and have a rotational role.
#Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey (questionable, calf) is expected to play in Sunday’s AFC title game, per source. Could be in a rotational role but he is slated to be up for gameday.

This is big news since Humphrey is the Ravens’ top corner. He’s been out with a calf injury for the last few weeks and even had to miss last Saturday’s divisional game against the Houston Texans.
That said, he was able to do enough in practice this week and make the team comfortable enough with his status.
With him back, it’ll make things harder for the Chiefs since they’ll be going up against one of the best defenses in the league.
Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET and it’ll be nationally televised by CBS. Jim Nantz, Tony Romo, and Tracy Wolfson will have the call.
