The Baltimore Ravens have released their list of seven inactives ahead of their Week 13 meeting with the Denver Broncos and two notable names are on the list.
The Ravens will once again be without left tackle Ronnie Stanley who will miss his second consecutive week with an ankle injury. The former All-Pro was a limited participant on Wednesday and Thursday but was given Friday’s practice off.
The team will also be without rookie outside linebacker David Ojabo who has still yet to make his NFL debut. Ojabo was activated over a month ago but remains sidelined for unknown reasons, perhaps simply as a healthy scratch.
The remainder of the Ravens’ inactives consists of cornerback Damarion Williams, running back Mike Davis, linebacker Del’Shawn Phillips, linebacker Josh Bynes, and tight end Charlie Kolar.

The Ravens have a number of rookies as healthy scratches in Week 13
With Stanley out, the Ravens will turn to Patrick Mekari again to start at left tackle. Mekari filled in for Stanley last week and the offensive line had its share of struggles.
Perhaps the most notable thing about the Ravens’ inactive list is the number of rookie healthy scratches. Pepe Williams is inactive for the first time this year as a healthy scratch as he’s seen his defensive role decrease in recent weeks.
The Ravens elevated Ar’Darius Washington from the practice squad and he will likely take his place. Rookie tight end Charlie Kolar is also inactive again as he, much like Ojabo, awaits his NFL debut.
Then there’s Ojabo whose consistent absence on gamedays has caused some intrigue and concern among Ravens fans. It’s starting to seem as though Ojabo won’t play this year barring an injury to another Ravens outside linebacker.
Phillips is the other injured inactive for the Ravens as the veteran linebacker/special teamer popped up on the injury report with a quad injury on Thursday. Bynes and Davis have been consistent healthy scratches and that doesn’t figure to change, barring injury.
The Ravens take on the Broncos with kickoff set for 1 pm ET.
