9. Can the Baltimore Ravens run the ball on the Tennessee Titans?

The Tennessee Titans appear to be coming into this game without Teair Tart. Tart has a toe injury, and he missed the game against the Indianapolis Colts. He has not practiced yet this week, and that makes it hard to project his return with such short work.

This is major for the Baltimore Ravens. When Tart has played, the Titans' run defense has been solid. However, once he was out, Zack Moss started to rip the defense apart. The depth along the Titans interior is not strong, and this is an easy spot where the Titans can be attacked.

The question is, can the Ravens be the team that does it? Tyler Linderbaum is healthy now, which should help. Still, Kevin Zeitler is looking a bit over the hill, while John Simpson is struggling this year. Beyond that, the Ravens have their questions at running back. Will it just be Lamar Jackson taking advantage, or does the loss of Tart cause Zeitler and Simpson to play some of their best football and clear some big lanes for the running backs?
