The Baltimore Ravens host the Houston Texans at M&T Bank Stadium on Sunday for Week 5 of the regular season. For the Lamar Jackson-less Ravens to defeat the Texans, the offensive line needs to be at their A-game in the running game and give Cooper Rush plenty of time in the passing game. However, it will be no easy task going up against the elite pass-rushing duo of Will Anderson Jr. and Danielle Hunter, especially with a Pro Bowl lineman banged up.

Ronnie Stanley suffered an ankle injury at some point during Week 3 against the Detroit Lions despite playing every single offensive snap. He did not practice on Wednesday and Thursday, but upgraded to a limited participant last week. Stanley played in Week 4 against the Kansas City Chiefs but aggravated the ankle injury in the first quarter and did not return for the remainder of the game.

Ronnie Stanley sat out on Wednesday but upgraded to a limited participant on Thursday and Friday. The Ravens officially listed him as questionable, with the plan for the two-time Pro Bowler to work out during pre-game warm-ups to ultimately determine his fate. On X, the team released their inactive players list and ruled Stanley out for the first time this season.

Joseph Noteboom will start at left tackle against the Houston Texans, with Ronnie Stanley sidelined. The former Los Angeles Rams third-round pick filled in for the remainder of the game against the Kansas City Chiefs last week. Noteboom has ample experience on the left side, logging 1,383 snaps at left tackle, according to PFF.
