After cutting Tony Bergstrom for the 2nd time in 2 weeks, the Ravens activated all 7 offensive linemen. Having 7 active OL is normal, but having just 7 on the roster is extremely unusual.

The fact that the Redskins signed the recently released Bergstrom, street free agent Orlando Franklin, and Ravens practice-squad member Alex Kouandjio speaks to the shortage of offensive line talent league wide. It also is an indication of the risk the Ravens have taken by having just 7 OL on the roster.

Unfortunately, the Ravens injury situation at other positions makes stashing even 1 extra lineman difficult.
