The Baltimore Ravens will be without the services of some key players when they take on the St. Louis Rams at M&T Bank Stadium today.
GuardKelechi Osemeleand tight endNick Boyleare both inactive today. Osemele is dealing with a knee injury and his absence comes as no surprise as he missed Friday’s practice.Ryan Jensenwill start in his place.
The loss of Osemele is a huge blow to the Ravens offensive line as they take on a Rams front that is one of the best in the NFL. They are already without starting centerJeremy Zuttah, who was placed on injured reserve earlier in the week.
Boyle has been wearing a walking boot this week and there is some talk about whether the rookie will end up on injured reserve. Newly acquired tight endChase Fordis also inactive, leaving Baltimore with justCrockett GillmoreandMaxx Williamsas the only healthy tight ends on the roster.
In our five keys to victory, we highlighted the matchup between the Ravens offensive line and Rams D-line.

It’s a tough matchup for both as they will be going up against a defensive line withAaron Donald,Chris LongandRobert Quinn.
