Nobody in the NFL had worse luck last season than did the Baltimore Ravens, who nevertheless entered the second half of the year in position to seize the first seed in the conference before everything—especially what was left of their secondary—fell apart.
One of the first major injuries to strike was to All-Pro left tackle Ronnie Stanley, who injured his ankle the year before shortly after signing a huge contract extension in-season. Stanley only played one game, the opener, before having a setback with his ankle and missing the rest of the year, requiring follow-up surgery.
Since then, the Ravens have taken a more open approach, simply hoping to have Stanley whenever he is ready, whether that be at the start of the season or some time beyond that.
