10 questions emerging from Baltimore Ravens loss to the Cleveland Browns
2. What is the status of the Baltimore Ravens tackles?
The Baltimore Ravens tackles have been up and down when it comes to their health status all season. This week, they both will have huge question marks beside their names.
First, Morgan Moses has missed the past two weeks with a shoulder injury. He was a full participant in practice all week, so you have to wonder if the Ravens thought about the short turnaround and decided to give Moses a few extra days to rest to ensure he was healthy for Thursday Night Football.
That is good, but another issue arose when Ronnie Stanley went down with a lower-body injury. John Harbaugh did not comment, but it does sound like Stanley will miss some time.
So, the return of Moses is even more paramount. Daniel Faalele does not appear comfortable starting, so the Ravens would like to start Moses at right tackle and then shift Patrick Mekari back to left tackle. It is asking a lot of Mekari to move back and forth, but injuries are calling for it, and he has excelled in that role so far.
