The Baltimore Ravens lost one of their best players on Monday, when Pro Bowl corner Marlon Humphrey was ruled out for the rest of the season with a torn right pectoral muscle.

The Ravens are in first place in the AFC North, but they will be without Humphrey for the rest of the season. He was hurt when he tried to tackle Diontae Johnson, who scored the go-ahead touchdown late in the fourth quarter.

The loss of Humphrey is the most devastating blow. Humphrey is the Ravens' most talented defender, who can match up against the opposition's top wide receiver and rip the ball away with his physical play. He is one of two players in the league with at least 50 passes broken up and 10 forced turnovers.

The Baltimore team has reached the playoffs in three of the past four seasons. 25% of the Ravens salary cap will be used on IR after Humphrey is placed on injured reserve.

Three of Baltimore's players with the five biggest cap hits -- offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley, defensive back Marcus Peters and wide receiver Humphrey -- have suffered season-ending injuries. The Ravens have lost 11 players who will make more than $800,000.

In the past five weeks, Baltimore has placed at least one player on injured reserve. When Humphrey is added to the injured reserve, the number of players will increase.

Diontae Johnson's game-winning touchdown catch was defended by Ravens CB Marlon Humphrey, who suffered a torn pectoral muscle.

"We've been dealing with stress all season, and we've still been able to overcome it, because we've got a lot of injuries," Williams said. We plan on doing that. The show must go on because it's a 'next man up' mentality. We are praying that he makes it back. We still have games to play, even though everybody is healed up. We have the Cleveland Browns next week.

Chris Westry is expected to start in Humphrey's place if he's healthy. Westry had a thigh injury. All five of the 53-man roster's defensive backs missed at least one practice last week because of an injury or illness.

The Ravens have lost three players to season-ending injuries in the secondary: Humphrey, Peters and DeShon Elliott. Chuck Clark is the only remaining starter in the secondary.

Baltimore is giving up the second-worst amount of passing yards in the league. The Ravens will face three top 10 rated quarterbacks in the final weeks of the season.
