Emery Jones is a talented player who could make the switch to offensive guard, but he’ll start his rookie season on the sidelines. The Ravens placed their third-round pick out of LSU on the non-football injury list.
A four-star recruit who played basketball in high school, Jones was a third-team Freshman All-American in 2022Second-team All-SEC in 2023 and 2024.

It was going to be hard for any of the rookies to make a significant contribution this year outside of Jones Jr, the third-round pick and offensive tackle from LSU. A potential roster battle for the left or right guard spot hasn’t materialized because Jones didn’t practice and won’t be ready until late in training camp because of a shoulder injury.
A late start to the competition will give Andrew Vorhees the edge. Jones had a 67.4 PFF pass-blocking grade at right tackle, but could be even more productive playing in a less confined space.
