The Ravens don\u2019t have much lineup uncertainty at the moment, meaning the lone positional battle has been thrust into the limelight. With Patrick Mekari<\/a> departing this offseason, there remains an opening at left guard, with coach John Harbaugh recently stating that he\u2019d like to settle on a starter as soon as possible.<\/p>\n

Harbaugh also provided some insight into which way he\u2019s leaning, as the coach revealed that Andrew Vorhees<\/a> remains the front-runner for the starting LG job over Ben Cleveland<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAndrew Vorhees is in the lead. Something would have to change,\u201d Harbaugh said (via Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic<\/a>). \u201cI will say, with Ben, he\u2019ll tell you, the first, three or four days didn\u2019t look too good. Then, the next three or four days looked really good. \u2026 Andrew has looked good all the way through, so he\u2019s in the lead at this point.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vorhees was penciled in as the starter to begin the 2024 campaign. However, an ankle injury temporarily knocked him out of the lineup, and by the time he was ready to return, Mekari had already run away with the job. Vorhees, a 2023 seventh-round pick, will now have another clear shot at sticking in the starting lineup, although Cleveland does provide some competition should things go off the rails. Per Zrebiec, Cleveland will likely be slotted in as the team\u2019s top reserve OG to begin the season, with Joseph Noteboom<\/a> likely the favorite to be the top OT reserve and former UDFA Corey Bullock<\/a> the favorite to be the backup center<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While there aren\u2019t many starting spots up for grabs in Baltimore, there are plenty of roster battles. One of those competitions is believed to be at outside linebacker, where the Ravens appear to have one too many players. Zrebiec writes that Adisa Isaac<\/a> is expected to win the final positional spot, meaning David Ojabo<\/a> is likely going to be the odd man out. A former second-round pick, Ojabo has struggled to carve out a role during his three years in Baltimore, and with only a year remaining on his rookie pact, the organization may finally be willing to move on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The Ravens don\u2019t have much lineup uncertainty at the moment, meaning the lone positional battle has been thrust…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":80755,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2052],"tags":[4690,4684,184,117,2282,472,25113,4691,7,10144,6,169],"class_list":{"0":"post-286354","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-baltimore-ravens","8":"tag-adisa-isaac","9":"tag-andrew-vorhees","10":"tag-baltimore","11":"tag-baltimore-ravens","12":"tag-baltimoreravens","13":"tag-ben-cleveland","14":"tag-corey-bullock","15":"tag-david-ojabo","16":"tag-football","17":"tag-joseph-noteboom","18":"tag-nfl","19":"tag-ravens"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/115024830608775258","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286354","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=286354"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/286354\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/80755"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=286354"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=286354"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=286354"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
