The Ravens offensive line has been an area of concern this year. What has been the good and the bad almost halfway through the season?

The Ravens’ offensive line had a bit of a shake-up in personnel from last year. Ronnie Stanley is the only player in the same spot as he was in 2017. Starters Ryan Jensen (center) and Austin Howard (right tackle) from last year have left, with Jensen being a big money free agent. Matt Skura went from guard to center and James Hurst went from guard to tackle.

Alex Lewis and Marshal Yanda had season-ending injuries in the early part of the 2017 season, but are back for 2018. To top off the changes, the Ravens brought in two rookies in Orlando Brown Jr. and Bradley Bozeman, as well as free agent signee Hroniss Grasu, who was with the Chicago Bears last season. Fortunately, Jermaine Eluemenor was called up from the practice squad in week eight for extra depth, before starting at left tackle in week nine in place of an injured Ronnie Stanley.

So how have all these men performed in 2018? Let’s take a look:
