Ravens-Patriots Notebook: Duvernay, Humphrey Held Out of Practice

In this story:
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Ravens Pro-Bowl returner and wide receiver Devin Duvernay was not at practice Wednesday after suffering a concussion in Week 2 against the Miami Dolphins.
Duvernay returned the opening kickoff 103 yards for a touchdown. He also caught two passes for 42 yards. Duvernay had to leave the game with just over four minutes left in the fourth quarter after he took a hard hit on a 16-yard completion.
He will have to pass physical testst before he is able to play Week 3 against the New England Patriots.
“Devin is looking OK, he’s in the concussion protocol," coach John Harbaugh said. "He got hit right in the head after he caught the ball; I don’t know if they’re looking at that in the league office or not. He didn’t have many symptoms – he had actually no symptoms. So, it’s looking positive.”
Justice Hill or James Proche could return kicks if Duvernay is scratched.
Cornerback Marlon Humphrey also did not practice because of a groin injury. He left the game Sunday in the second half and did not return. The Ravens struggled with his absence.
Quarterback Lamar Jackson was limited with a right elbow injury and wore a sleeve but and John Harbaugh said it was "just a normal course of the season-type thing" and he will play Sunday. Jackson also the elbow was no concern.
“I’m good. The pad came with the sleeve; it wasn’t added or anything like that," Jackson said. "I’m good. I’m going to be out there Sunday; I’m going to be out there tomorrow in practice. I’m good.”
Beware small sample sizes, etc., but this is notable:
