Report: Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey expected to play in AFC Championship game

Jeremy Fowler is reporting that Baltimore Ravens cornerback Marlon Humprhey is expected to play in the AFC Championship game against the Kansas City Chiefs

The Ravens are nearing full strength, and after getting Mark Andrews back in the lineup, the defense will benefit from Marlon Humphrey’s return.

ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reports that Humphrey is expected to play in the AFC title game after missing the last three games with a calf injury.

Humphrey practiced in full Friday after opening the week with back-to-back limited sessions, and it’s unknown if the 27-year-old will start after having already missed eight games this season. Still, adding the All-Pro cornerback is urgent for a unit that’ll defend Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.

Chiefs rule out All-Pro guard Joe Thuney and list RB Isiah Pacheco as questionable for AFC Championship Game vs. Ravens

The Ravens had all 53 players on the roster practice on Friday, but the same can’t be said for the Chiefs, who have an All-Pro offensive guard set to miss the AFC title game.

Joe Thuney has been ruled out for Kansas City, while running back Isiah Pacheco (ankle/toe) and wide receiver Kadarius Toney (hip/ankle) are questionable for Sunday’s AFC Championship Game vs. Baltimore.

Thuney, a Pro Bowl selection for the second straight season, is highly unlikely to be available for Sunday’s game because of a pectoral injury.

Pacheco insisted Wednesday that he will be on the field Sunday.

He led the Chiefs with 935 rushing yards in the regular season and added 97 more in last Sunday’s 27-24 divisional-round victory over the Buffalo Bills.

Defensive tackle Derrick Nnadi (triceps) and receiver Skyy Moore (knee) also missed Thursday’s practice.
