Marlon Humphrey was sidelined from the Baltimore Ravens’ practice session on Wednesday. Humphrey was among a few Ravens players who did not take the field for the team's outdoor practice on the day.

Humphrey has been out of action since suffering a calf injury during the first half of Baltimore’s home win over the Miami Dolphins. He spent the remainder of the opening half testing out his calf on the sideline, but the Ravens ultimately decided to rule him out for the entirety of the second half.

Humphrey did not take part in any of Baltimore’s three practice sessions ahead of its home matchup against the Pittsburgh Steelers, and he was later ruled out from the divisional contest. The veteran cornerback also sat out all four of the Ravens' practices during their recent bye week.

Humphrey has a history of calf injuries. For one, the three-time Pro Bowler missed two games earlier in the season due to a non-contact calf ailment sustained during the Ravens’ home loss to the Cleveland Browns in November.

It will be noteworthy to see whether Humphrey will receive the green light to practice on Thursday.

The Ravens will square off with the Houston Texans in the AFC divisional round at 4:30 p.m. E.T. on Saturday.
