Ravens' Marlon Humphrey to make season debut

OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey will make his season debut Sunday as the Baltimore Ravens continue to get healthier for Sunday's game at the Pittsburgh Steelers.

Humphrey missed the first four games of the season after undergoing foot surgery in the middle of August. He was listed as questionable but was a full participant in Friday's practice after being limited all week.

In addition to Humphrey, wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr. (ankle) and left tackle Ronnie Stanley (knee) both are active for Week 5. Beckham has been sidelined the past two games, and Stanley has been out for the past three games.

Humphrey, 27, has been one of the best playmaking cornerbacks in Ravens history. A three-time Pro Bowl defender, he is one of three Ravens players to record double-digit forced fumbles and interceptions in his career, along with Hall of Famers Ray Lewis and Ed Reed.

The Ravens' pass defense has played surprisingly well in Humphrey's absence. With Brandon Stephens stepping in for Humphrey, Baltimore has allowed the third-fewest passing yards (168.3 per game) this season.

The first-place Ravens (3-1) can sweep all of their AFC North road games this season with a win in Pittsburgh. Baltimore already has victories in Cincinnati and Cleveland this year.
