7. How much will we see from these rookie UDFA offensive linemen?

The Baltimore Ravens offensive line is essentially settled. It is hard to see John Simpson losing his spot after the first two games, and Sala Aumavae-Laulu may get all of the looks this week to gain experience. Sam Mustipher will be fighting for his roster spot at center as well. Beyond that, the question will be about three UDFAs who may get extended looks.

Tykeem Doss played 19 snaps at left tackle so far. Tashawn Manning has played 45 snaps at right guard, and Jaylon Thomas has played 19 snaps at center. Thomas has been projected to play some left guard, but the position battle there has taken his snaps.

The question is how much these three will play, and which ones will stick to the practice squad? It seems clear that they want Manning to get the most experience. Does Doss get more work at left tackle, or do they continue to ride with David Sharpe? Then, does Thomas play anywhere but center in this game? Small things worth finding out.
