As if the embarrassment of their worst offensive performance of the year wasnโ€™t enough, the Ravens lost both starting offensive tackles to injury in the 25-13 loss to the Houston Texans on Sunday.
Right tackle Rick Wagner was carted to the locker room with a foot injury sustained in the third quarter and didnโ€™t return. The state of the offensive line turned even worse in the fourth quarter when veteran left tackle Eugene Monroe left the game and didnโ€™t return.
It remained unclear what the extent of each playerโ€™s injury was immediately following the game, but reports from Houston indicated Wagner was wearing a protective boot on his foot and using crutches while Monroe was also wearing a protective boot on his foot.
โ€œThereโ€™s nothing I want to share right now,โ€ said head coach John Harbaugh about their status after the game. โ€œWeโ€™ll just see how those guys come out of it and see where weโ€™re at.โ€
Their departures caused plenty of shuffling on the starting line as the Ravens finished the game with rookie free agent James Hurst playing left tackle and Pro Bowl right guard moving out to right tackle, a position he hadnโ€™t played since the 2010 season. Rookie John Urschel then entered the game to occupy Yandaโ€™s normal position.
Hurst was previously filling in for Wagner at the right tackle spot before Monroe got hurt.
The Ravens were held to just 64 yards through the first three quarters of action and rushed for just 33 yards on 16 carries against the Houston defense.
