The Ravens will be without a key member of their offensive line on Sunday as Ben Grubbs will miss the first game of his five-year career with a toe injury. The former Auburn product was expected to be replaced by newcomer Andre Gurode at the left guard spot, but swing linemen Mark LeVoir took more reps at guard with the starting line during pregame warmups.
Baltimore will also be thin in the secondary as cornerbacks Jimmy Smith (high ankle sprain) and Chris Carr (hamstring) had already been ruled out. Rookie Chykie Brown has been deactivated in lieu of the newly-promoted Danny Gorrer, who was on the practice squad before the Ravens waived linebacker Jason Phillips on Saturday.
Wide receiver Tandon Doss, linebacker Sergio Kindle, and defensive tackle Brandon McKinney are also inactive for the second straight week.
