Khalil Mack vs. Ronnie Stanley and Alex Lewis

The concern here is that both Stanley and Lewis are both in jeopardy of missing Sunday’s game. Lewis is in the concussion protocol, while Stanley was seen in a walking boot on Wednesday. To make matters worse, one of the top pass rushers in the game is headed to Baltimore.

Mack has failed to record a sack this season, but it’s only a matter of time before he gets it going. He recorded 15 sacks last season and Pro Football Focus graded him as the top edge defender over Von Miller of the Denver Broncos. Our friends over at With the First Pick explain why he has not gotten off to a good start and how that will change.

If James Hurst has to be inserted into the lineup – that makes Ravens fans cringe – it could be another disastrous showing from the offensive line. Even with a healthy Stanley and Lewis, it could be a long day for the Ravens.
