Left tackle Ronnie Stanley has played a huge role in the Ravens league best rushing attack.
During the Ravens 23-16 victory over the Bills. Stanley suffered a concussion and presumably will not clear protocol in time for Thursday's matchup against the Jets.

December 11, 2019 Stanley has been dominant in his fourth season in Baltimore. And numbers presented by Pro Football Focus have him playing in the same class as a Ravens Hall of Famer.

December 8, 2019 Assuming Stanley cannot play Thursday, it would be the first game he has missed on the season.
Tackle James Hurst would start in his place. Hurst has been a rotational lineman the past two seasons after starting all 16 games at guard in 2017.
Missing Stanley will put a ton of emphasis on Lamar Jackson's protection Thursday night. Jackson has been nursing a quad injury suffered during the Bills win and not having his star left tackle surely is a concern.
Aside from Stanley, linebacker Chris Board will not play in the game against New York.
