3. Who will play on the Baltimore Ravens offensive line?

How the Baltimore Ravens offensive line gets sorted out in the next week will certainly be worthy of a follow. If you assume the same status of the starters, the top four guys will be out. You have to wonder if John Simpson did enough to lock down the starting spot, and a night off as well.

The Baltimore Ravens could use Sala Aumavae-Laulu getting nearly a full game's worth of snaps after he has been a major disappointment this preseason. Sam Mustipher is not only playing for his roster spot, but he also is now competing to earn a roster spot wherever a team will have him, as he is firmly on the bubble.

At right guard and right tackle, we have Ben Cleveland and Daniel Faalele switching back and forth. Does that continue, or does the younger Tashawn Manning take some snaps? On the left side, is it the veteran David Sharpe for another long look? Is it possible he pushes Faalele to make the roster?

Then, along with Manning, are Jaylon Thomas and Tykeem Doss, two UDFAs who have played minimally because the Ravens have had a lot of sorting out to do. Will those two get any more work? There are a lot of questions along the offensive line that will be fun to watch play out this weekend.
