Humphrey is a defensive leader and starter who has made big plays early this season. He was replaced by Chidobe Awuzie.<\/p>\n<p>Smythe was injured on an outside run for no gain by Derrick Henry. He crumpled trying to get to the sideline and was quickly taken to the locker room and ruled out.<\/p>\n<p>Smythe is a key blocker who Offensive Coordinator Declan Doyle brought with him as a free agent from Chicago. He had just one catch for four yards through the first four games but played 57% of the offensive snaps.<\/p>\n<p>The Ravens may have to lean more on rookie tight ends Matt Hibner and Josh Cuevas moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He does so much for this offense, and for us, that is a guy we really have to step up [for],&#8221; tight end Mark Andrews said.<\/p>\n<p>Vorhees stepped into the starting lineup this week at right guard and was ruled out in the third quarter. He also dealt with a foot injury last season that he played through.<\/p>\n<p>Vorhees was called into action because the Ravens lost two centers, Jovaughn Gwyn (ankle) and Ethan Pocic (knee), in in Brazil last week. They were both placed on injured reserve and rookie first-round guard Vega Ioane was thrust into the starting center spot.<\/p>\n<p>Jackson suffered an ankle injury at the end of the first half and was deemed questionable to return. Beyond his injury, it appears that Ravens have more to worry about moving forward.<\/p>\n<p>Baltimore already have rookie wide receiver Ja&#8217;Kobi Lane (hand), cornerback T.J. Tampa (knee), center Danny Pinter (knee) and others on injured reserve. Lane and Tampa could return in the coming weeks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Lamar Jackson wasn&#8217;t the only Raven forced to the sideline in Sunday&#8217;s game against the Tennessee Titans.
