The trenches are crucial to the success of the Baltimore Ravens, especially in the run game, and the Buffalo Bills' opponent for this coming Sunday Night Football seems to be dealing with some injuries that might have a big impact on their success.

Starting guard Daniel Faalele, center Tyler Linderbaum, and tackle Patrick Mekari were all listed as "Did Not Participate" on Monday's injury report.

It's the entire right side of the offensive line.

This will be something to monitor as the practice week continues to see if any or all of the above players will be able to go for Buffalo's matchup.

Linderbaum is clearly the most noteworthy name on the list as the general of the offensive line. A 2022 first round pick, Linderbaum has quickly grown into one of the best centers in the league. In his second season, Linderbaum allowed only 15 pressures over the entire season in 2023 without giving up a sack. He was a home run of a draft pick by Ravens' general manager Eric Decosta.

The run game is the key to success for the Ravens, and it's the biggest obstacle that the Bills' defense will have to face. As the Bills appear to be getting healthier, it looks like the Ravens are pretty banged up to start the week.
