Ravens Bring In Former Vikings Superstar for Workout — Super Bowl Champion, 2× All-Pro, 5× Pro Bowler

Stephon Gilmore ruled out for Vikings-Falcons - NBC Sports

Baltimore, MD – September 2025 – One hamstring pull. One gut punch. For the Ravens, Marlon Humphrey’s latest setback feels bigger than a medical update — it’s a crack in the foundation of a defense long defined by swagger, toughness, and depth.

And into that silence, a familiar name rises: Stephon Gilmore.

Humphrey, the heartbeat of Baltimore’s secondary, walked off in camp with a limp and a scowl. Officially, he’s “week-to-week.” Unofficially, the Ravens know the truth: soft tissue injuries don’t follow schedules, and the season won’t wait.

“You can’t gamble on health,” one assistant coach admitted. “And we can’t keep leaning on rookies to fight battles they aren’t ready for.”

At 34, Gilmore’s credentials remain untouchable: Super Bowl champion. Five-time Pro Bowler. Defensive Player of the Year.

He’s not the same player who once blanketed entire sides of the field, but his presence alone changes how offenses scheme. His name still carries the weight of experience, rings, and respect. And the message from Gilmore hasn’t changed: he isn’t finished.

Asked about the idea of Baltimore, Gilmore didn’t hesitate.
“I’ve been in the biggest moments. I’ve won it all. But what matters most is joining a team that plays with family and fire. The Ravens? That’s always been their DNA.”

The Ravens pride themselves on resilience and grit. Gilmore doesn’t have to be 2019’s Defensive Player of the Year again. He just has to be steady, fearless, and a veteran voice that stabilizes a unit searching for answers.

In Baltimore, it wouldn’t just be about numbers. It would be about leadership. It would be about belief.

The AFC North waits for no one. With Ja’Marr Chase, George Pickens, and Amari Cooper looming, hesitation could cost Baltimore games — and their shot at January glory. As one fan posted on X:
“Ravens don’t break. Ravens reload. Bring Gilmore to the Flock.”

Justin Fuller, known by the nickname "Spidey," died after a tandem skydiving jump went wrong on Oct. 4, 2025, near Nashville, Tennessee. (Facebook/Justin Fuller Spidey) Fuller, known affectionately as “Spidey,” had completed more than 5,000 jumps and trained U.S. military personnel in advanced aerial maneuvers. Friends described him as “fearless, focused, and committed to lifting others higher — both in life and in the air.” Puni, whose mother is the younger sister of Fuller's , grew up admiring his cousin’s discipline and sense of purpose. Family members say that influence helped shape his mental toughness and leadership on the field. A relative told local media, “Justin taught Dominick that strength isn’t about being unbreakable — it’s about standing firm when life hits hardest. That’s exactly how Dominick lives and plays today.” Puni, a rookie out of Kansas, has steadily earned the 49ers’ trust along the offensive line, praised for his physicality in the run game and poise in protection. Coaches describe him as “wise beyond his years.” The 49ers have privately offered support and time for Puni and his family, ensuring he can process the loss away from team obligations. Teammates have rallied behind him, honoring his family’s resilience and service background. The FAA is investigating the incident, while tributes to Fuller — under his nickname “Spidey” — continue to flood social media from military peers, skydivers, and fans nationwide. “He taught others to fly — now he’s flying higher than all of us,” one tribute read.
