Ravens cornerbacks Wiggins, Humphrey could return from injuries next week
Two football players on the Baltimore Ravens got hurt during practice this week.
Their names are Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey.
They are cornerbacks, which means they try to stop the other team from catching the ball.
Nate hurt his left leg on Tuesday and had to leave the field in a cart.
Marlon got hurt on Wednesday but was able to walk off by himself.
Their coach, Jesse Minter, says both players are doing well.
He thinks they could be back on the field next week.
This is good news because the team struggled against the pass last season.
Even if they were healthy, they likely would not play in Saturday's practice game against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Ravens cornerbacks Nate Wiggins and Marlon Humphrey could return next week from injuries suffered in training camp.
Wiggins was carted off the field with a left leg injury midway through Tuesday's practice.
Humphrey walked off under his own power during Wednesday's session with an undisclosed issue.
Coach Jesse Minter said both got good reports and are trending well to be back.
Neither was expected to play in Saturday night's preseason opener at home against the Philadelphia Eagles.
