OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ The Ravens are not expected to have their starting left tackle for Sundayโs game against San Diego with Eugene Monroe officially listed as doubtful.
The seventh-year offensive lineman injured his shoulder in the fourth quarter of Mondayโs loss to Arizona and did not practice all week. Second-year tackle James Hurst is expected to start in his place against the Chargers, who sport the leagueโs 18th-ranked defense.
The latest injury continues a disappointing two-year run for Monroe, who missed a total of six games with knee and ankle injuries last year and was sidelined for three games earlier this season with a concussion suffered in the season opener.
Baltimore listed safety Kendrick Lewis (knee), left guard Kelechi Osemele (knee), and tight end Maxx Williams (knee/ankle) as questionable after the trio practiced on a limited basis all week. Safety Terrence Brooks (thumb) and wide receiver Steve Smith (knee) are probable after being full participants on Friday.
The expected returns of Lewis and Brooks help a secondary that was forced to turn to special-teams player Brynden Trawick to start at free safety on Monday. Lewis missed one game while Brooks was sidelined two games after undergoing a surgical procedure on his thumb.
Wide receiver Breshad Perriman (knee) and cornerback Tray Walker (concussion) were officially ruled out against San Diego.
The Chargers will be without three starters for Sundayโs game as three-time Pro Bowl safety Eric Weddle, guard Orlando Franklin (ankle), and inside linebacker Manti Teโo (ankle) were officially declared out on Friday.
San Diego quarterback Philip Rivers may also be without eight-time Pro Bowl tight end Antonio Gates (knee), who was listed as questionable after missing practices all week and not playing in Week 7.
The referee for Sundayโs game will be Gene Steratore.
The Sunday forecast calls for temperatures in the mid-60s and partly cloudy skies with winds up to eight miles per hour, according to Weather.com.
Below is the final injury report for Sundayโs game:
