Baltimore has now been ruled out for Sunday's season opener against the Texans. Nothing shocking on that front, really, as it was the most probable outcome following his foot surgery and recovery timeline.
With Humphrey out, the Ravens are expected to deploy Rock Ya-Sin and Ronald Darby across from each other; on the outside barring the inclusion of Brandon Stephens in the starting lineup demoting one of the two veteran free-agent signings.

When it comes to defending the slot, there is still no answer from the team about who will be the starting nickel corner in Week 1.
