The Baltimore Ravens enter training camp with one of the weakest positions on the offensive line still unsettled: the replacement for three-time Pro Bowler Tyler Linderbaum at center. The three main challengers are Danny Pinter (seven starts and 617 total snaps at center), Jovaughn Gwyn (323 preseason snaps), and Corey Bullock (84 preseason and seven regular-season snaps). There is no clear front-runner, as Pinter and Gwyn have split first-team reps throughout the spring.
Because of this, the Ravens could be in play for a free agent formerly with a division rival.

Former Cleveland Browns starter Ethan Pocic remains a free agent as he recovers from a significant injury sustained late in the season and awaits medical clearance. Pocic suffered an Achilles tear in Week 14 on December 7 and underwent surgery shortly after. Achilles injuries generally require 9 to 12 months to recover, but several players have returned sooner. For instance, Cam Akers recovered in 5.5 months in 2021 and Terrell Suggs in 5 months in 2012. He is currently seven months removed from surgery.
According to Adam Schefter, Ethan Pocic was recently medically cleared by Dr. Norman Waldrop to participate in training camp, seven months after tearing his Achilles. As a result, he is expected to be a full go and should garner interest from several teams desperate for a center. The Ravens could be among the teams to make a call on Pocic with training camp starting in two weeks.
