The Ravens need a healthy Ronnie Stanley to do anything special in 2021, which is what makes his season-opening performance and absence from practices this week so concerning. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite practicing fully and not being listed on the Week 1 injury report, the Stanley we watched in Las Vegas on Monday looked nothing like the dominant blocker we’ve come to know as Baltimore’s best left tackle since Hall of Famer Jonathan Ogden. Struggling against ex-Ravens defensive end Yannick Ngakoue while toughing it out through all 68 offensive snaps in his return from last year’s left ankle injury, the 27-year-old Stanley allowed eight hurries and a quarterback hit and graded 62nd out of 68 qualified offensive tackles, according to Pro Football Focus<\/a>. When the 2016 first-round pick from Notre Dame has been at his best, that represents roughly a full season’s worth of miscues, which is what made his performance so jarring. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
