Rookie cornerback Keyon Martin was forced to stay in Cleveland a little longer than he expected following Sunday’s victory.<\/p>\n
Head Coach John Harbaugh said Martin returned to Baltimore Monday after being examined at a hospital with a chest injury.<\/p>\n
“Looks like he’s OK,” Harbaugh said. “He had a bunch of testing there in the hospital last night. All came out negative, in a good way. He’s back now. We’ll see how that progresses in the next 24 hours.”<\/p>\n
Martin played 18 defensive snaps (32.7%) against the Browns and had one of his best overall games with a pass breakup and his first career sack. The undrafted rookie has been a regular on special teams all season and has continued to make plays as he did during the summer when he earned a roster spot.<\/p>\n
“That sack, he had a couple of good coverages, he had a batted ball,” Harbaugh said. “I thought he played really well. He played well on special teams [and] has been.”<\/p>\n
Martin helped pick up some of the slack for Pro Bowl cornerback Marlon Humphrey (finger), who did not play against Cleveland.<\/p>\n
Harbaugh is hopeful that Humphrey, who had a procedure to insert a pin in his dislocated finger, will be back in the lineup to face the New York Jets in Week 12.<\/p>\n
“I’m optimistic about that right now,” Harbaugh said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rookie cornerback Keyon Martin was forced to stay in Cleveland a little longer than he expected following Sunday’s…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":300624,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[63],"tags":[19686,257,2593,17263,65780,35298,349,11178,99],"class_list":["post-300623","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-nfl","tag-clifton-brown","tag-general","tag-homepage-latest-headlines","tag-inline-news","tag-keyon-martin","tag-news-notes","tag-nfl","tag-ryan-mink","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300623","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=300623"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/300623\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/300624"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=300623"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=300623"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=300623"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
