Brought in from the Los Angeles Rams this offseason, Hummel missed a chunk of training camp and offseason practices after he had a cut on his hand, then suffered a fractured finger that required surgery.
That made Sunday's blocked punt, the Ravens' first since 2016, sweet. What made it even sweeter was that it was the first time his 4-month-old son Hudson was at his father's game.
After bulldozing Browns safety Ronnie Hickman one-on-one to get the block, Hummel blocked the kick with his "good" hand.
"I kind of wish it was the other \[hand\]. I would have framed the cast," Hummel said.
"A couple of punt rushes before, we brought a pressure, and I felt like I could get a one-on-one with the personal protector. Luckily, our special teams coordinator, Chris Horton, stressed to me to run a similar block, and I got the one-on-one and was able to beat him and make the play."
