Ravens HC John Harbaugh said he expects Marlon Humphrey to be ready for training camp.

Advice: According to Harbaugh, Humphrey is dealing with “nagging things.” The veteran corner dealt with a foot surgery that limited him at the start of last season and missed four games with a calf injury. After being sidelined in the divisional round of the AFC playoffs, Humphrey returned to play in 13 snaps of the AFC Championship game against the Chiefs. Humphrey earned a PFF coverage grade of 62.7 last season but surrendered just 236 yards and one touchdown on 19 receptions. The soon-to-be 28-year-old remains one of the premiere corners in the league when healthy. Rotoworld Thursday, 12:32 pm

Defensive coordinator Teryl Austin said at mandatory minicamp Wednesday that he "failed" to put Fitzpatrick "in the best position" during the 2023 season and intends for him to play more at free safety going forward, Joe Clark of Steelers Depot reports.

Advice: Fizpatrick played a career-high 134 snaps in the slot last season despite appearing in just 10 games, per Clark, and his 161 snaps at box safety were the second-highest tally of his career. That heavily intruded on Fitzpatrick's ability to suit up at free safety, where his talents best shine, resulting in his first year without a single turnover. Fitzpatrick said he hopes to get back to playing "Minkah Ball" in 2024, and getting the 2018 first-round pick back to a deep safety role could allow him to return to his four-time Pro Bowler form. The addition of DeShon Elliott in free agency should facilitate that plan. Rotowire.com Thursday, 8:42 am

The Lions released James (undisclosed) from injured reserve with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Advice: James was placed on IR on Tuesday after sustaining some sort of injury during minicamp, and the 28-year-old cornerback and the Lions have now agreed to part ways. James will be free to sign elsewhere once he returns to full health. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 3:58 pm

Herndon agreed to a contract with the Giants on Wednesday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.

Advice: The 28-year-old cornerback spent the first six seasons of his career in Jacksonville, but he's now found a new home in New York. Last season, Herndon started in four of his 16 appearances, recording 46 total tackles and nine passes defensed. He's expected to add depth to a Giants secondary that ranked 19th in the NFL in passing yards allowed per game (229.3) in 2023. Rotowire.com Wednesday, 2:25 pm

Giants signed CB Tre Herndon, formerly of the Jaguars, to a one-year, $1.1 million contract.

Advice: Herndon joined the Jags as a UDFA in 2018 and has been with the team ever since. The team brought him back for multiple one-year deals before letting him walk this offseason. Herndon logged nine pass breakups, one forced fumble, and one TFL as a part-time player in 2023. He has also held a role on special teams throughout his career. Herndon will compete for the primary nickel corner job in New York and will also see work on special teams. Rotoworld Wednesday, 10:18 am
