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.

Right Now in Baltimore
The June reset for Orioles begins at Fenway
We've seen better baseball from the Baltimore Orioles over the past two weeks and after a 7-3 homestand with some walkoffs and walkovers, Luke Jones and Nestor give the Birds a June "reset" as they head to Fenway Park and then to Skydome in Toronto to tackle more of the AL East, where they hope to make up ground as a sub .500 squad thus far.
Raymond Berry and Nestor discuss the life of Art Donovan and legacy of Baltimore Colts in 2013
When the world lost the outsized spirit that was Arthur Donovan, Nestor turned the WNST airwaves into a public eulogy for the Hall of Fame defensive lineman and Baltimore legend. Another Hall of Famer, Raymond Berry, joined in for the memories and kind words for 'Fatso' and the rest of the Baltimore Colts legends and their legacy in the Charm City and what it meant to catch passes from Johnny Unitas at Memorial Stadium.
