An offensive line that’s missing several key pieces won’t affect the amount of playing time starting quarterback Joe Flacco or the first-team offense gets Saturday, coach John Harbaugh said.
“I think if something happens in the game, it possibly could [have an affect], but the way we’re going into the game, to start the game, we’re comfortable with the guys we have playing on the starting offensive line,” Harbaugh said Wednesday. “They’ll do a great job.”
The line remains one of the team’s most badly-hit positions when it comes to injuries. Starting left guard Kelechi Osemele (Achilles injury) has practiced once — last Thursday — since the first preseason game on Aug.
