Lamar Jackson has missed the first three full-team practices of training camp as he’s out with an illness. After Tuesday’s practice, Harbaugh provided an update on the two-time MVP.
“I’m sure he’s closer to getting out there than he was,” Harbaugh said. “It’s just a matter of when the doctors are going to clear him, and he’s going to feel good enough.”
After playing the last few seasons at 200 pounds, Marlon Humphrey is now around 190. Humphrey said that when he tore his pec in late 2021, he gained some “grown-man weight,” but he knows football is a “young man’s game,” so he slimmed down.
“It was kind of by design. I looked at the past, I looked at my better seasons, and I was a little bit lighter those years, so I decided to get around a little bit lower of a weight,” Humphrey said. “I’ve been feeling [and] moving pretty well at it, so we’ll kind of see how it wiggles around with training camp.
“I’ve really been talking advantage of Sarah [Snyder], our [director of sports nutrition]. I’ve been really trying to lean on the resources the Ravens offer, do things the right way instead of my usual, which is just don’t eat – which is not the best route – so I’ve really, really been trying to slim up a little bit and go with the plan that she’s put out for me.”
Humphrey said he has long thought that he will eventually transition to safety later in his career but hasn’t had discussions with coaches about that yet. He is preparing to play outside and slot cornerback this season.
