Key Points:
- Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey expressed frustration over the negative treatment and slander that quarterback Lamar Jackson often faces, suggesting it is unfair compared to other players.
- Humphrey implied that Jackson lacks a strong agent or advocate to defend him against media criticism, leaving Jackson to handle such matters on his own.
- Despite the criticism, Humphrey emphasized that if Jackson is healthy enough to play, he will, and noted the team has backup quarterback Snoop Huntley if needed.
- Jackson's recent absence due to an ankle injury has drawn little criticism, with reports indicating he is week-to-week and may return to play soon.
- The Ravens, currently 4-2, are preparing to host the 3-2 Bengals, and Jackson's potential return could be crucial for the team's performance.
