Wide receiver Rashod Bateman and Humphrey have both been battling an illness late in the week. Humphrey missed Friday’s practice, while Bateman did not practice all week. Bateman was ruled out for Sunday night’s game.
While Humphrey may no longer be at his peak from earlier in his career, he remains one of the Ravens’ most vital defensive pieces on the back end.
Depending on the outcome, Sunday night’s game against the Ravens could be Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ last outing of his Hall of Fame career.
Rodgers said on The Pat McAfee Show in June that he was pretty sure this would be his last year. It’s unclear if that stance has changed for the 42-year-old quarterback.
If Sunday night ends up being the last chapter, Humphrey would like to make Rodgers’ final career memory a negative one.
“That first game we were like, ‘He done turned the clock back,’” Humphrey said, via the team’s website. “He hadn’t been that spot on, but he threw some great passes. He really etched himself into the rivalry well. We have to match that tempo. He’s going to come out there and give his guys great opportunities to get the ball and put it in places where it’s very hard to defend. It doesn’t matter who you’re guarding, who’s out there, you’ve got to be on your p’s and q’s. Great player, but we would definitely like to have his last memory be a negative one.”
