Potential key missing players
Marlon Humphrey
Humphrey missed the Ravens’ 34-10 win over the Houston Texans after suffering a calf injury late in the season. The secondary survived without him, allowing just 175 passing yards in the win. Still, the former Pro Bowl corner is a lynchpin of one of the best defenses in the NFL, and he is likely to line up against Rashee Rice or Travis Kelce if he plays.
The Ravens have shown that the secondary is talented enough to get the job done without Humphrey, but this is Patrick Mahomes and a Chiefs’ offense that has put up impressive performances against the Dolphins and Bills.
Mark Andrews
While it seemed that Mark Andrews would be off the injured reserve in time for Saturday’s divisional round game, it never materialized, and the tight end missed that contest. The fact that Andrews has been progressing through practice is a good sign, but his absence from Saturday’s game against Houston means that he’s still in jeopardy of missing this game — even if it was more of a precaution.
The Ravens’ passing game has ticked along nicely without Andrews — the ascension of Isaiah Likely has been a key part of that success, but having Andrews back would still have the potential to deliver a big impact.
