The Ravens have released the injury report and the official
game status for the upcoming game against the Pittsburgh

Ingram Jersey , and, well, it¡¯s not good.Officially, both LT Ronnie
Stanley and RT James Hurst will miss the contest against their heated rival.This
will be the third-straight absence for Hurst as he¡¯s dealt with a back injury.
In the six games Hurst has played, he¡¯s performed greater than many fans
expectations. He was heralded as a great guard and bad tackle, but he¡¯s wiped
away these notions in 2018.This will be the first absence for Stanley in 2018.
Many were hoping he could play as he returned to the game against the Panthers
after being rolled up on midway through the third quarter.With both players out,
speculation is Jermaine Eluemunor receiving the nod for his first start at right
tackle and Orlando Brown Jr. starting once again at right tackle.Also missing
the game is sophomore linebacker Tim Williams. This will be his second missed
game of 2018, after not playing in Week 5 against the Cleveland Browns.The
Ravens are not looking healthy and solid as a unit right now. They¡¯ve dropped
two-straight games and now face a rivalry matchup without their two starting
tackles. It¡¯s going to take great strength in this adversity to overcome on
Sunday. In search of a backup quarterback, Baltimore could look to bring back a

SportsWith Joe Flacco out of the fold and Robert Griffin III entering free
agency, Baltimore will be looking for a backup to Lamar Jackson this offseason.
Bringing back RGIII appears to be the most likely scenario, but there are
several other options the Ravens could explore. One of these alternatives could
be bringing in Tyrod Taylor, who spent the first four seasons of his career in
Baltimore. Taylor was drafted by the Ravens in 2011 and served as Flacco¡¯s
backup until joining the Buffalo Bills in 2015. Taylor only appeared in 14 games
as a member of the Ravens, completing 19 of 35 passes for 199 yards and two
interceptions. While he never got an opportunity to start in Baltimore, he
quickly made an impact for the Bills. After winning the starting job in his
first season in Buffalo, Taylor went on to play 44 games in three seasons,
completing 62.7 percent of his passes and throwing for 8,857 yards. Taylor threw
just 16 interceptions compared to 51 touchdowns. Much like Lamar Jackson, Taylor
was effective as a rusher as well. He averaged 525 rushing yards per season and
totaled 14 touchdowns on the ground. In
2017

Buffalo¡¯s first playoff berth since 1999. His success in Buffalo enticed the
Browns to trade a third-round pick for him last offseason. Taylor entered the
season as Cleveland¡¯s starting quarterback, but a mid-game injury against the
Jets in Week 3 created an opportunity for Baker Mayfield to seize the job.
Taylor was less than stellar in his short stint as a member of the Browns, but
he still possesses valuable skills that make him an attractive option on the
free agent market. Now that he¡¯s looking for a new home, would Taylor entertain
a return to Baltimore? It¡¯s very possible that Taylor will be looking for a
starting role, which he wouldn¡¯t find in Baltimore. The market may be there too,
given his starting experience and leadership skills. However, if Taylor is
willing to slot into a backup role, he would be a strong option for the Ravens
to sign in free agency. Taylor¡¯s rushing ability and athleticism mirror that of
Jackson, making him a natural fit behind him on the depth chart. In his press
conference last Friday, John Harbaugh hinted that finding a player similar to
Lamar will guide their thinking. Finding a backup quarterback is just one of
several roster needs that general manager Eric DeCosta is tasked with addressing
this offseason. While it may be less of a need than other
positions

backup cannot be understated. Between RGIII and Tyrod Taylor, it¡¯s fair to say
that Taylor is the better overall player at this stage in his career. However,
both players are experienced veterans and make for suitablequarterback options.
While RGIII is the more likely to be brought back, a reunion between Taylor and
the Ravens should not be entirely ruled out. Should Baltimore find a way to sign
him this offseason, it would be a welcome return for both parties.
