News & Notes: Ravens' Starting Offensive Line Is Set, But Tough Roster Decisions Remain

The competition for a starting job on the Ravens' offensive line is over.

Head Coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Andrew Vorhees will be the starting left guard Week 1, joining left tackle Ronnie Stanley, center Tyler Linderbaum, right guard Daniel Faalele, and right tackle Roger Rosengarten.

Left guard was the only position unsettled entering training camp, and Vorhees has prevailed over Ben Cleveland. However, it remains uncertain if the Ravens will keep nine or 10 offensive linemen on the initial 53-man roster.

Cleveland and Joseph Noteboom are veterans with position versatility, Carson Vinson is a fifth-round rookie with potential, and Corey Bullock has started both preseason games at center.

That leaves a group that includes second-year center Nick Samac and seventh-round rookie Garrett Dellinger vying for a roster spot. Third-round rookie offensive lineman Emery Jones Jr. (shoulder) can remain on the non-football injury list, as he has not practiced since being drafted, and doesn't count towards the 53-man roster.

"I'd say we've got the five, then what's the nine if we keep nine?" Harbaugh said. "Do we keep 10? It's hard to do, but we have 10 worthy guys for sure. Then the practice guys are all kind of up in the air right now."
