Right guard Daniel Faalele is the Ravens’ biggest question mark up front, and Ben Cleveland, for at least another week, does not appear to be the solution.
“If Ben had earned the job at right guard,” coach John Harbaugh said at his Monday news conference, “he’d be the starting right guard.”
But the Ravens’ pecking order shouldn’t disqualify Cleveland from appearing altogether. There is perhaps an elegant workaround to the team’s offensive line shakiness and run game struggles, especially this week: Deploy Cleveland situationally as a sixth offensive lineman.
A smattering of snaps Sunday could have broad appeal, inside and outside the Ravens’ facility.
