The Baltimore Ravens were slated to boast the deepest and most talented defensive backfields in the entire league heading into the 2021 regular season. Cornerback in particular was where they were the strongest, headlined by the elite Pro Bowl tandem of Marcus Peters and Marlon Humphrey and rounded out by several quality depth players that would likely start on many other teams.
Unfortunately, like so many other vital position groups on the roster, the Ravens have been ravaged by injuries in secondary. Peters suffered a torn ACL a week before the season opener, starting free safety DeShon Elliott tore his biceps in Week 9 and Humphrey joined them on season-ending injured reserve after tearing his pectoral this past Sunday in the team’s Week 13 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers.
