Andrew

Vorhees

The Ravens’ mauling rookie guard suffered an MCL sprain in Week 7 against the Bengals. He is likely on the wrong side of questionable for Week 8, but Minter said he has been impressed by Ioane’s resilience and thinks he could recover quickly. In the meantime, OL Emery Jones Jr. and OT Andrew Vorhees will compete for the potential starting role.

The guard got in three limited sessions, he and Emery Jones Jr. (ankle) are both questionable. Ronnie Stanley, John Simpson and Roger Rosengarten were removed from the injury report.

Jurgens still has a chance to play, but we had hoped to see him upgrade to full participation. Ravens EDGE Mike Green (hamstring) was added to the injury report today as a limited participant. Ravens OG Andrew Vorhees (foot) joins him in the limited column. Ravens RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) upgraded to full participation. Ravens OG John Simpson (groin) downgraded to a DNP.

The Ravens’ new starting center is still recovering from his recent concussion, but he seemingly has a chance to face the Browns this week. Ravens EDGE Trey Hendrickson (finger) and S Kyle Hamilton (stinger) are practicing fully, while RT Roger Rosengarten (knee), OG John Simpson (groin), OG Andrew Vorhees (foot), LT Ronnie Stanley (rest/toe/ankle) and CB Marlon Humphrey (hamstring/calf) were limited.

Vorhees exited late in the first half against the Titans and was replaced by Emery Jones. Vorhees was making his first start of the season this week and played on just eight snaps in last week’s game against the Cowboys. Hopefully this isn’t anything too serious, as the Ravens’ interior offensive line has already been hit with multiple injuries this season.

Ali opened the year on injured reserve after suffering a neck injury ahead of Week 1. He was a full participant in Friday’s practice, suggesting he has a good chance of suiting up this week. His return would give the Ravens another backup option behind Derrick Henry. Guard Andrew Vorhees is listed as questionable but appears likely to play versus the Bengals.

Vorhees was listed as doubtful for Week 4 on Friday and got ruled out with inactives before kickoff. His return to practice suggests the second-year guard will be back on the field this week.

Linderbaum was a full participant in Friday’s practice and should be good to go. Right tackle Patrick Mekari is also good to go despite dealing with a minor neck injury. Left guard Andrew Vorhees, on the other hand, is doubtful. Though losing Vorhees isn’t ideal, getting two of the three banged up linemen on the field this week is a good outcome for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens.

Linderbaum and fellow lineman Patrick Mekari (neck) both returned to practice after being DNPs on Wednesday. Left guard Andrew Vorhees, however, remained sidelined. Barring any setbacks, it appears safe to say Linderbaum and Mekari will both be good to go for Sunday’s contest against the Bills. Vorhees’ availability remains TBD.

RT Patrick Mekari (neck) and LG Andrew Vorhees (ankle) were also unable to practice on Wednesday. The Ravens face a Bills pass rush that ranks seventh among NFL teams in pass-rush win rate (50.4%). All three players will be needed for an AFC showdown with playoff implications.
