OWINGS MILLS — The Ravens were missing three starting offensive linemen from practice on Wednesday.
Center Tyler Linderbaum (knee), right tackle Patrick Mekari (neck), and left guard Andrew Vorhees (ankle) were also on the week’s first injury report.
Coach John Harbaugh declined to discuss details.
“I think what happens in the course of the season is that it’s a very physical sport,” Harbaugh said. “You got guys that are going to be working through things pretty much every week. I think if you look around the league, you’ll see that. We have to deal with those things like everybody else.”
The starting offensive line, which includes left tackle Ronnie Stanley and right guard Daniel Faalele, played every snap (63) against the Cowboys. That unit had its best performance, clearing the way for 274 yards rushing and protecting quarterback Lamar Jackson, who was not sacked.
Ravens running back Derrick Henry had his best game, finishing with 151 yards on 25 carries with two touchdowns. Henry praised the performance of the offensive line.
“We all see [the criticism of the offensive line] – you can’t miss much of anything nowadays – it’s going to be right in your face whether you want to see it or not,” Henry said. “At the end of the day, we all [have] to sit together. We all [have] to go out there and do a job, and we all [have] to change the narrative. Would we have wanted to have started off [the season] on the right foot [with] everything just going the way we wanted to? But that’s not how it started.
“You find out who you are in tough times, and I felt like we accepted the challenge, knowing what was being said and everything that was going on; but as long as we stick together and believe in one another, we’ll be right where we want to be.”
Also not practicing Wednesday were nose tackle Michael Pierce and cornerback Jalyn Armour-Davis, who is dealing with a hamstring injury.
