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.”

Ravens Update Quarterback Depth Amid Controversies - Re-signed Pro Bowl Star to QB2
Baltimore, MD – October 7, 2025 Following Cooper Rush's disappointing performance in the humiliating 10-44 loss to the Houston Texans on Saturday (October 6), the Baltimore Ravens are facing intense debates about their quarterback room depth. With Lamar Jackson still nursing a hamstring injury and potentially missing the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams (scheduled for Week 6), the big question arises: Should Tyler Huntley – the former Ravens Pro Bowl star – get the starting nod over Rush? Huntley, 27 years old, was re-signed by the Ravens to the practice squad at the end of August 2025 and quickly elevated to QB2 for Week 5. He served as the Ravens' backup QB from 2020-2024, leading the team to the playoffs in 2022 and earning a Pro Bowl replacement spot thanks to his impressive performances filling in for Jackson. With experience in 9 starts (3-6 record), Huntley brings familiarity to the Ravens' offensive system, particularly his mobility and game-reading skills – something Rush seemed to lack in the Texans loss, where he completed only 18/34 passes with 1 TD and 2 INTs, resulting in the offense scoring just 10 points. The controversy exploded on social media, with the hashtag #RavensFlock divided. Many fans support Huntley: "Rush has proven he's not the solution. Huntley knows the system, knows how to win games – put him in!" (from account @RavensFanatic on X). Meanwhile, others defend Rush, arguing he needs time to adapt after transferring from the Dallas Cowboys: "Rush just started his first game for us. Don't rush to conclusions – he has playoff experience!" However, Rush's performance (only 189 passing yards, no big plays) has raised concerns about the depth chart, especially with Jackson possibly out for another 1-2 weeks. Head coach John Harbaugh hasn't commented directly, but in the post-Texans press conference, he hinted at a reevaluation: "We have multiple quality options at QB. Tyler is ready, and we'll choose the one best suited to win." ESPN insiders report that Huntley has been practicing fully and performing well, potentially being promoted to official QB2 if Jackson misses the Rams game – a crucial matchup for the Ravens (currently 1-4) to salvage their season. Signing Huntley – a Pro Bowl star – is seen as a smart move amid the controversies, boosting the Ravens' depth and flexibility. If Huntley gets "the nod" to start, it could be his chance to prove his value, just like his previous fill-ins for Jackson. Ravens fans are awaiting the decision – will "Snoop" (Huntley's nickname) return to save the team? Follow updates from baltimoreravens.com for more details. #RavensFlock #QBControversy
