Ronnie Stanley Injury News & Updates
Keep up with the latest injuries from the Jets vs Ravens game on Sunday with our National Football League injury report.Oct 29, 2025
Good to go against Miami
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant in Wednesday's walkthrough practice.
ANALYSIS
Stanley had his practice reps limited during the shortened week while working through an ankle injury, and his full participation in Wednesday's walkthrough indicates that he will start at left tackle against the Dolphins on Sunday.
Oct 28, 2025
Tending to ankle issue
Stanley (ankle) was a limited participant at practice Tuesday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley played versus the Bears in Week 8 despite being limited during practice with an ankle injury leading up to that contest, so it's possible he's just being held out of some drills for maintenance reasons. Even so, he'll probably have to practice in full Wednesday to avoid carrying an injury designation into gameday at Miami in Week 9.
Oct 22, 2025
Practicing in full Wednesday
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley left during the second quarter in Week 6 versus the Rams due to an ankle issue, but with the benefit of a Week 7 bye, he's on track to start in Week 8. Whether it's Lamar Jackson (hamstring) or Cooper Rush under center Sunday versus the Bears, it should be Stanley protecting their blind side.
Oct 12, 2025
Exits with ankle injury
Stanley (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's game, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley limped to the sideline in the second quarter after sustaining an ankle injury and has not left the bench, Brian Wacker of The Baltimore Sun reports. The starting left tackle missed the Week 5 loss to the Rams with an ankle injury that may have been aggravated. Backup offensive tackle Joe Noteboom has entered the game as a replacement.
Oct 9, 2025
Practices fully Thursday
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
After missing last Sunday's loss to the Texans, Stanley appears ready to resume his left-tackle duties for Week 6 against the Rams.
Oct 8, 2025
Limited participant in practice
Stanley (ankle) was a limited participant in Baltimore's practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley sat out the team's Week 5 loss versus the Texans but managed to return to practice Wednesday, albeit in a limited capacity. The 2016 first-round pick will likely need to be a full participant in either Thursday or Friday's practice session to avoid carrying an injury designation into Sunday's matchup versus the Rams.
Oct 5, 2025
Won't play vs. Houston
Stanley (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Texans.
ANALYSIS
Stanley sustained an ankle injury during the Ravens' Week 4 loss to the Chiefs. He was a limited participant in the last two practices of the week, but the injury is severe enough for him to be sidelined for Sunday's contest. Joe Noteboom is the top candidate to start at left tackle in Stanley's absence.
Sep 28, 2025
Exits with ankle injury
Stanley is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Chiefs due to an ankle injury, Matt McMullen of the Chiefs' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was able to overcome an ankle injury heading into Sunday's game. It appears he's aggravated the injury, and he'll undergo further tests to determine whether he can return. Joe Noteboom will likely take over at left tackle for as long as Stanley is out of the game.
Oct 13, 2024
Active Sunday
Stanley (toe) is active for Sunday's game against the Commanders.
ANALYSIS
After not practicing Wednesday, Stanley logged back-to-back limited sessions and drew a questionable tag. However, the veteran will suit up for a sixth straight game to start the campaign and assume his usual role at left tackle, protecting Lamar Jackson's blindside.
Sep 19, 2024
Practices in full Thursday
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant in Thursday's practice.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was held out of Wednesday's practice due to an ankle injury, but the 2016 first-round pick was able to participate without restriction during Thursday's session. Stanley should be good to go for Sunday's game against the Cowboys, and he'll start at left tackle and be tasked with protecting Lamar Jackson's blindside.
Sep 18, 2024
Misses Wednesday's practice
Stanley (ankle) didn't practice Wednesday, Jonas Shaffer of TheBaltimoreBanner.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley appears to have sustained an ankle injury during the Ravens' Week 2 loss to the Raiders, as he was held to limited work in Wednesday's practice. The veteran offensive lineman's practice participation Thursday and Friday will likely provide a better indication of his availability for Week 3. If Stanley is unable to go Sunday, expect Josh Jones to step in and protect Lamar Jackson's blindside.
Mar 13, 2024
Redoes contract
Stanley agreed to a restructured contract Wednesday that will be more incentive-based, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was due $15 million for the 2024 campaign, but according to Fowler, his base salary will now be lower, while the potential incentives earned can surpass that number. His cap hit was set to be $26.2 million, but it's still not clear how much cap savings the Ravens will be getting with the reworked deal.
Dec 23, 2023
Cleared to play Monday
Stanley (concussion) has no injury designation ahead of Monday's game against the 49ers.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has been dealing with knee issues much of the year and had to leave last Sunday night's game against the Jaguars early with the head injury. He's since cleared protocol and will be out there against Nick Bosa and the San Francisco edge rushers.
Dec 18, 2023
Dealing with concussion
Head coach John Harbaugh said after Sunday's win over the Jaguars that Stanley is in the concussion protocol, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic
ANALYSIS
Stanley missed time due to a knee injury earlier this season, but his status for Week 16 is up in the air due to a concussion. If he's unable to suit up next Monday against the 49ers, Patrick Mekari and Daniel Faalele would be candidates to see increased playing time.
Nov 23, 2023
On track to play
Stanley (knee) was listed as a full participant on Thursday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was limited Wednesday, but his upgrade to full activity Thursday should put him on track to play Sunday against the Chargers after a one-game absence.
Nov 15, 2023
Won't play Thursday
Stanley (knee) has been ruled out for Thursday's Week 11 contest against Cincinnati.
ANALYSIS
Stanley departed Sunday's Week 10 loss to the Browns after hurting his knee and hasn't been able to practice at all this week. Patrick Mekari will thus likely start at left tackle against the Bengals on Thursday Night Football. Stanley will now look to recover in time to play Sunday, Nov. 26 against the Chargers.
Nov 13, 2023
Listed as DNP for walkthrough
Stanley (knee) was listed as DNP on Baltimore's practice estimate Monday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley sustained a knee injury during Sunday's loss versus the Browns, and his availability for Week 11 is now in jeopardy. He'll probably need to practice in some capacity Tuesday or Wednesday to have any chance to play Thursday.
Nov 12, 2023
Exits with knee injury
Stanley (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was able to walk off the field and into the medical tent. He shortly left the tent and headed to the locker room, per Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic. Stanley's availability for Week 11 against the Bengals on Thursday night is now in jeopardy.
Oct 8, 2023
Active Sunday
Stanley (knee) is active ahead of Sunday's game against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
The 29-year-old is set to appear in his second game this season, as he missed Baltimore's last three weeks with a knee issue. Stanley's return is big for a Ravens offensive line that will be without starting right tackle Morgan Moses (shoulder) this Sunday.
Oct 6, 2023
Questionable for Week 5
Stanley (knee) is listed as questionable ahead of Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, Adam Caplan of Fox Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has a chance to play this coming Sunday, as he's missed the Ravens' last three games with a knee issue. If the 29-year-old is unable to go once again, Patrick Mekari is expected to slide in at left tackle.
Oct 5, 2023
Looking good for Week 5
Stanley (knee) was a full participant at practice Thursday, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official site reports.
ANALYSIS
After managing a full practice two days in a row to start the week, it seems all but certain that Stanley will return from his three-game absence Sunday at Pittsburgh. He figures to step back in immediately as Baltimore's starting left tackle.
Oct 4, 2023
Returns to practice
Stanley returned to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has been out since Week 1 after injuring his knee but is now trending towards playing against the Steelers on Sunday. The Ravens will be happy to have the 29-year-old to help bolster the offensive line as now right tackle Morgan Moses is dealing with a shoulder injury.
Oct 1, 2023
Won't play Sunday
Stanley (knee) is inactive ahead of Sunday's game against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore will be without their All-Pro lineman this Sunday, as Stanley continues to recover from the knee sprain he suffered during the team's Week 1 win over the Texans. Patrick Mekari is expected to continue filling in for Stanley at left tackle.
Sep 29, 2023
Doubtful for Sunday
Stanley (knee) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game at Cleveland.
ANALYSIS
Stanley did not participate at practice Friday and appears to be on his way to missing his third consecutive game as he recovers from a sprained right knee. In all likelihood, it will be Patrick Mekari who starts at left tackle for Baltimore in Week 4.
Sep 27, 2023
Returns to practice
Stanley (knee) returned to practice Wednesday, Jamison Hensley of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has been sidelined since Week 1 but now has a chance of playing against the Browns on Sunday. Patrick Mekari has served as the starter in place of the 29-year-old, and should do so once again if Stanley ends up being unavailable this week.
Sep 23, 2023
To remain sidelined
Stanley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Colts.
ANALYSIS
After being a non-participant at practice all week, Stanley's absence is not surprising. It will mark his second straight game missed due to an ankle injury. As a result, Patrick Mekari and Daniel Faalele will be options to fill in on the offenseive line.
Sep 15, 2023
Won't face Cincinnati
Stanley (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 2 game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
The Ravens suffered a number of big-time injuries in their Week 1 win over the Texans, losing Stanley and C Tyler Linderbaum (ankle) along with J.K. Dobbins to a season-ending torn Achilles' tendon and FS Marcus Williams to a torn pec. Patrick Mekari will fill in at left tackle with Stanley out.
Sep 11, 2023
May miss Week 2
Stanley is expected to miss at least a week after suffering a sprained knee in Sunday's 25-9 win over the Texans, Cordell Woodland of 105.7 The Fan Baltimore reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley exited the contest early and underwent an MRI after the game. The veteran tackle's expected absence will be a blow to the Ravens' offensive line, especially with Tyler Linderbaum (ankle) also expected to sit out Sunday against the Bengals. Assuming both do miss, Sam Mustipher will likely take over at center, while Patrick Mekari fills in for Stanley at left tackle.
Sep 10, 2023
Injury not presumed serious
Stanley's knee injury isn't believed to be serious after he exited Sunday's win over the Texans, Dianna Russini of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley will still undergo further testing to determine the extent of his injury, but the Ravens seem optimistic about his diagnosis. Assuming his MRI doesn't reveal anything too concerning, a better idea of his status for the team's Week 2 matchup against the Bengals next Sunday should come into focus based on his practice participation this week.
Sep 10, 2023
Will need testing
Stanley will undergo an MRI after suffering a knee injury in Sunday's 25-9 win over the Texans, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley suffered the injury in the second half and was unable to return. More about his potential status for Week 2 won't be known until the test results are in. However, his absence would certainly be a blow to the team's offensive line, especially with Tyler Linderbaum (ankle) also headed for an MRI.
Sep 10, 2023
Questionable to return
Stanley exited Sunday's game against the Texans with a knee injury.
ANALYSIS
Stanley appears to have sustained a knee injury at some point during the second half of Sunday's contest. While the nature of this issue is still unclear, the 29-year-old will likely remain sidelined for the remainder of the season opener, as the Ravens are currently leading 22-9 in the fourth quarter. In Stanley's place, Patrick Mekari will likely finish out the game at left tackle for Baltimore.
Dec 9, 2022
Ready to return
Stanley (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's matchup against the Steelers.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has missed each of Baltimore's last two games with an ankle injury but was able to turn in both a limited and full practice this week. He'll return to start at left tackle and will provide a big boost to the Ravens' offensive line.
Dec 7, 2022
Logs full practice Wednesday
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant at practice Wednesday ahead of Sunday's game at Pittsburgh.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has missed Baltimore's last two games with an ankle injury he sustained in Week 11 versus Carolina, but a full practice session indicates he's on track to play in Week 14. The All-Pro left tackle elevates the entire Ravens offensive line when he's on the field.
Dec 4, 2022
Missing another matchup
Stanley (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Stanley sustained an ankle injury during Baltimore's Week 11 matchup versus Carolina, and he is now in line to miss his second contest in a row as a result after failing to practice in any capacity Friday following the two limited sessions he strung together Wednesday and Thursday. While the 315-pounder remains sidelined, Patrick Mekari should continue slotting in as a starter on the team's offensive line.
Dec 2, 2022
Could return against Denver
Stanley (ankle) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Broncos.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was held out of Baltimore's Week 12 loss to the Jaguars with an ankle injury. He managed limited practice sessions both Wednesday and Thursday but did not take the field Friday. That could be an ominous sign for his availability in Week 13, though his status will become official Sunday prior to kickoff.
Dec 1, 2022
Limited in practice Wednesday
Stanley (ankle) was listed as a limited participant on the Ravens' injury report Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was sidelined for the first four weeks of the season while recovering from an ankle surgery that ended his 2021 campaign. The 28-year-old was then forced out with an ankle issue against Carolina in Week 11, leaving him sidelined for Sunday's loss to the Jaguars. Stanley will now have two more practices to increase his activity, or else he'll likely remain out against Denver this Sunday.
Nov 25, 2022
Won't play Week 12
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Jaguars.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was forced out with an ankle injury during Baltimore's Week 11 win over Carolina, leaving him sidelined during each practice ahead of Sunday's game. With the 28-year-old put, veteran Patrick Mekari should step in as the starting left tackle against Jacksonville.
Nov 24, 2022
Considered day-to-day
Stanley (ankle) is considered day-to-day with, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com
ANALYSIS
While the Ravens appear optimistic with a day-to-day timeline for Stanely, he did not participate in Wednesday's practice. Tyler Huntley would presumably be in line to back him up at left tackle should he ultimately have to miss any time.
Nov 20, 2022
Leaves with injury
Stanley (ankle) is questionable to return Sunday against the Panthers, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has exited Sunday's contest, and Patrick Mekari will likely fill in at left tackle while he is out. The former missed significant time this season due to a dislocated and fractured ankle that ended his 2021 campaign early. Although, it's unclear if he injured the same ankle, or they're related at all.
Oct 23, 2022
Playing Sunday
Stanley (illness) is active Sunday against the Browns.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was a late addition to the injury report this week after being unable to practice Friday due to an illness. However, the veteran tackle is feeling well enough to suit up Sunday against Cleveland.
Oct 22, 2022
Late addition to injury report
Stanley (illness) is questionable for Sunday's matchup against the Browns, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley made his season debut in Week 5 and has largely avoided injury complications since. However, he was unable to practice Friday due to illness and was listed as questionable Saturday. His status could be a key to the Ravens' offense as he serves as the starting left tackle.
Oct 9, 2022
Officially active Sunday
Stanley (ankle) is active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was trending in the right direction ahead of Sunday's Week 5 matchup, and he'll officially be able to make his season debut against Cincinnati. The 2016 first-rounder should serve as the Ravens' starting left tackle when healthy this year.
Oct 8, 2022
Expected to make season debut
Stanley (ankle), who's officially listed as questionable, is expected to make his season debut during Sunday's primetime matchup against the Bengals, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley remained on the active roster to start the campaign but was inactive for the first four games while recovering from 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. He's appeared in just one game since initially fracturing his ankle in 2020, so it's likely the Ravens will bring him along slowly. Baltimore likely won't officially clear the veteran offensive lineman until closer to Sunday's 8:20 PM ET kickoff.
Oct 2, 2022
Out another week
Stanley (ankle) is inactive Sunday against the Bills.
ANALYSIS
Stanley will have to wait another week to make his season debut. The veteran tackle was able to log full practices Wednesday and Thursday, but he failed to participate Friday. Assuming there were no major setbacks, it seems like Stanley will have a solid chance of suiting up in Week 5 against the Bengals.
Sep 30, 2022
Considered questionable for Sunday
Stanley (ankle) did not practice Friday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley logged full practices Wednesday and Thursday, so the move to a DNP could be a cause for concern. The veteran tackle has yet to play this season and is still recovering from the season-ending surgery he underwent in October of 2021. However, it is possible this was just a rest day headed into Sunday for Stanley.
Sep 28, 2022
Logs full practice
Stanley (ankle) was a full participant in practice Wednesday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley's recovery from season-ending surgery in October of 2021 continued into the season, and he has yet to make his 2022 debut. However, his ability to log a full practice is a strong sign that the veteran left tackle will finally make suit up Sunday against the Bills.
Sep 24, 2022
Sitting out Sunday
Stanley (ankle) will be sidelined for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley will miss his third consecutive game as he continues to recover from his 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. Patrick Mekari will likely start opposite Morgan Moses as Ja'Wuan James is on IR for a torn Achilles.
Sep 24, 2022
Listed as doubtful
Stanley (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Patriots.
ANALYSIS
Stanley is yet to make his 2022 season debut as he is continuing to recover from his 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. With Ja'Wuan James placed on IR from a torn Achilles, Patrick Mekari will likely step in for Stanley's starting left-tackle position Sunday.
Sep 18, 2022
Sitting out Week 2
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against Miami.
ANALYSIS
Stanley will miss back-to-back games as he continues to recover from his 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. Patrick Mekari will likely take Stanley's starting left-tackle role as Ja'Wuan James was placed on IR after tearing his Achilles during Week 1.
Sep 16, 2022
Doubtful for Sunday
Stanley (ankle) is doubtful for Sunday's matchup against the Dolphins.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has been deemed doubtful for back-to-back games to start the campaign as he continues to work his way back from 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. Ja'Wuan James, who started at left tackle in Stanley's absence during the season opener, was placed on IR after tearing his Achilles during the contest, so Patrick Mekari is in line to start opposite of Morgan Moses on Baltimore's offensive line in Week 2.
Sep 11, 2022
Inactive Sunday
Stanley (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's season opener against the Jets.
ANALYSIS
As expected, Stanley will be sidelined for Week 1 while he continues to recover from 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. In his absence, Ja'Wuan James is expected to draw the start at left tackle opposite of Morgan Moses.
Sep 10, 2022
Downgraded to out
The Ravens have downgraded Stanley (ankle) to out for Sunday's season opening game versus the Jets.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was originally deemed doubtful for Week 1, so this news is not too surprising. He still seems to be recovering from his 2021 season-ending ankle surgery. In his absence, either Ja'Wuan James or Daniel Faalele figure to get the call to slide in at tackle opposite Morgan Moses.
Sep 9, 2022
Doubtful for season opener
Stanley (ankle) is listed as doubtful for Sunday's game against the Jets, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley still seems to be recovering from his 2021 season-ending ankle surgery, as he logged one DNP and two limited practice sessions this week. If the former All-Pro is indeed held out of the team's Week 1 contest against the Jets, Ja'Wuan James appears next in line to claim a starting spot on Baltimore's offensive line.
Aug 26, 2022
Removed from active/PUP list
Stanley (ankle) passed his physical and was removed from the active/PUP list Friday.
ANALYSIS
Stanley originally injured his ankle in 2020 and tried to return to action in 2021 but played just one game before undergoing season-ending surgery. It's unclear if he'll be available for the season opener, but either way, it's still an encouraging sign to see the veteran return to practice before Week 1.
Jul 23, 2022
Lands on PUP list
The Ravens have placed Stanley (ankle) on the active/PUP list as they enter training camp, Clifton Brown of the team's official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley originally injured his ankle in the 2020 season. He played just one game in 2021 before undergoing more surgery on the same ankle and subsequently missed the rest of the season. Coach John Harbaugh's most recent comments on Stanley's status was that his recovery was on schedule, but it remains to be seen what that schedule is.
Apr 5, 2022
On pace to return in 2022
Ravens general manager Eric DeCosta said Tuesday that Stanley (ankle) is "on a good pace to come back," and the organization is "optimistic" he'll rebound after undergoing season-ending surgery last October, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said at the end of March that Stanley remains without a timetable to return to football activities, but it appears the organization still hopes he'll be ready for training camp. However, DeCosta also mentioned that the upcoming draft class is very deep at tackle, which gives Baltimore some flexibility with Stanley's situation. The 2019 All-Pro missed the second half of the 2020 campaign due to a severe ankle injury and was able to return in time for Week 1 of the 2021 season, but he aggravated the issue and has been sidelined since.
Mar 28, 2022
No timetable for return
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday the Ravens have no timetable for Stanley (ankle) retaking the field, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley underwent season-ending ankle surgery last October, and though Harbaugh said the left tackle's recovery is proceeding well "by all accounts," it remains to be seen exactly when the 28-year-old can be expected back in action. Baltimore doesn't appear intent on rushing Stanley's recovery in any capacity, but the situation will warrant monitoring as the offseason progresses.
Oct 19, 2021
Moves to IR, done for season
Stanley has been moved to injured reserve and will undergo another ankle surgery that will end his season short for the second straight year, Ryan Mink of the Ravens' official website reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley returned from last year's season-ending ankle injury to play in Week 1 against the Raiders, but the 27-year-old offensive linemen has been sidelined since. In his absence, Andre Smith could draw the start at left tackle, or the Ravens could shift Alejandro Villanueva to the left side and have Patrick Mekari take over at right tackle.
Oct 16, 2021
Remains sidelined Sunday
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Chargers.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was unable to participate in practice Friday, and he'll be unavailable for a fifth consecutive game. Alejandro Villanueva (knee) is questionable once again but played through his injury last week.
Oct 9, 2021
Out again for Week 5
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup versus the Colts.
ANALYSIS
The left tackle is yet to practice this season after suffering a season ending ankle injury in 2020. Stanley is still without an expected return date.
Oct 2, 2021
Won't play Sunday
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Broncos, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley continues to recover from a setback with the ankle he fractured and dislocated nearly a year ago. While the veteran left tackle is sidelined, Alejandro Villanueva will operate as his replacement. Stanley's timetable for a return to the field remains unclear.
Sep 29, 2021
Out for a couple weeks
Stanley (ankle) will continue to rehab for a couple weeks, but there is no surgery planned, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Ahead of Week 2, Stanley suffered a setback in practice with the ankle that he fractured and dislocated in Nov. of last season. The All-Pro left tackle has missed the last two contests and is expected to miss more time, but Rapoport reports that he hopes to be back sooner rather than later. Alejandro Villanueva has shifted over to left tackle in Stanley's absence, while Patrick Mekari has been inserted in at right tackle.
Sep 24, 2021
Ruled out Sunday
Stanley (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's game against the Lions.
ANALYSIS
Stanley didn't practice Friday, and as such, him missing the game shouldn't be a major surprise. The left tackle already missed last week's game against the Chiefs and a timetable for his return remains unclear.
Sep 19, 2021
Ruled out Sunday
Stanley (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Stanley didn't participate in practice this week as he continues to deal with an ankle injury, and he'll be unavailable for the second game of the year. Alejandro Villanueva will shift to left tackle against Kansas City, while Patrick Mekari is expected to make his first career start at right tackle.
Sep 18, 2021
Listed as questionable
The Ravens have listed Stanley (ankle) as questionable ahead of Sunday's matchup with the Chiefs.
ANALYSIS
Stanley was a non-participant at practice during the week, so his questionable designation is seemingly a little optimistic. If he is ultimately unable to go, look for Alejandro Villanueva to slide to his more natural spot at left tackle, leaving Patrick Mekari to step in on the right side.
Sep 16, 2021
Could miss time with ankle injury
The Ravens are preparing for Stanley to sit out Sunday's game against the Chiefs and possibly additional contests to follow while he undergoes more medical testing for an ankle injury that prevented him from practicing Wednesday, Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Baltimore isn't expected to provide another update on Stanley until after Thursday's practice, but the 2019 first-team All-Pro left tackle appears to have suffered a setback with the ankle that he fractured and dislocated Nov. 1 of last season. Following a pair of surgeries, Stanley was able to make it back to action for the Week 1 loss to the Raiders, though quarterback Lamar Jackson was still sacked three times and faced a fair amount of pressure on most of his dropbacks. If Stanley is in fact forced to miss time, Alejandro Villanueva would likely move over to his more natural spot at left tackle, while Patrick Mekari swing tackle would step in on the right side.
Sep 9, 2021
Ready for season opener
Stanley (ankle) wasn't listed on Thursday's injury report.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has undergone two ankle surgeries since suffering a dislocated ankle and multiple torn ligaments last November. The 2016 first-round pick is back to full health, and he'll protect quarterback Lamar Jackson's blindside in 2021.
Aug 9, 2021
Removed from PUP
Stanley (ankle) returned to practice Monday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
ANALYSIS
The star left tackle came off the PUP list to make his first appearance of training camp, exactly five weeks before the Ravens take on the Raiders in their MNF season opener. Stanley's availability for that game is one of the biggest question marks for Baltimore, with the 27-year-old coming back from an ankle fracture and dislocation -- suffered Nov. 1 -- that required a pair of surgeries. Coach John Harbaugh did say in March that he expected Stanley to be ready for Week 1, and the Ravens seem to be preparing offseason acquisition Alejandro Villanueva for a transition from the blindside (Stanley's spot) to right tackle.

Mar 9, 2021
Undergoes second surgery
Head coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that Stanley has undergone two ankle surgeries and is expected to be ready for the season opener, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
While Harbaugh expressed optimism that Stanley would be ready for Week 1, he added that Orlando Brown is available to play left tackle if Stanley is unavailable. With that in mind, the Ravens have no reason to rush Stanley -- an All-Pro left tackle -- back into the lineup.
Jan 20, 2021
On track for training camp
Coach John Harbaugh expects Stanley (ankle) to be ready for training camp, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley suffered a season-ending ankle injury Week 8 of the 2020 season, the details of which included a fracture and dislocation. To have the All-Pro left tackle back on the field for training camp will be a welcome sight for the Ravens, and a positive indication about his chances of recovering fully in time for the 2021 campaign.
Nov 3, 2020
Moves to injured reserve
Stanley (ankle) was placed on injured reserve Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old is heading for ankle surgery and was already ruled out for the season, so this was simply a procedural move for Baltimore. Orlando Brown will take Stanley's spot at left tackle, with D.J. Fluker working at right tackle.

Heading for surgery
Stanley will undergo surgery on his ankle, but coach John Harbaugh said he has "a good prognosis long term," Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle during Sunday's loss to the Steelers, and it's only a matter of time before he moves to injured reserve. Harbaugh also indicated the team is optimistic Stanley could be ready for OTAs in May, which would be about six months of recovery time. Orlando Brown will shift to left tackle while D.J. Fluker takes over at right tackle for the Ravens.

Injury details emerge
Stanley suffered a fractured and dislocated ankle that likely involves torn ligaments in Sunday's loss to the Steelers, Adam Maya of NFL.com reports.
ANALYSIS
If Stanley indeed tore ligaments, he'll likely undergo surgery in the near future. Although the All-Pro left tackle has a serious injury, he's expected to have enough time for a full recovery before the 2021 season. That's good news for the Ravens, especially after they signed Stanley to a five-year, $98.75 million contract extension last week. Orlando Brown will shift to left tackle moving forward, and D.J. Fluker will bump into the right tackle position.

Done for season
Following Sunday's loss to the Steelers, coach John Harbaugh said that Stanley (ankle) will miss the rest of the season, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old left tackle is considered one of the league's best at the position, and he was rewarded just two days ago with a five-year, $98.75 million contract extension. Harbaugh didn't elaborate on the details of Stanley's injury, but that information should be provided over the next few days. Orlando Brown is the top candidate to fill in at left tackle moving forward, while D.J. Fluker will handle the right tackle position.

Officially out for rest of Week 8
Stanley (ankle) will not return to Sunday's matchup against the Steelers after being carted off in the first half.
ANALYSIS
This update serves as more of a formality, as it seemed a long shot the reigning All-Pro would return Week 8 given that his ankle was immediately wrapped in an air cast upon sustaining an in-game injury. Baltimore will have to re-arrange its front five given Stanley's status, which may involve shifting Orlando Brown to the blind side and elevating D.J. Fluker to the starting position at right tackle.

Carted off Sunday
Stanley had an air cast on his ankle and was carted to the locker room during Sunday's game against the Steelers, Mike Jones of USA Today reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old is fresh off signing a five-year, $98.75 million extension with the Ravens, and he went down with what is a potentially serious ankle injury. It could be a big loss for Baltimore, especially while going up again Pittsburgh's defensive front. Orlando Brown moves from right tackle to left tackle, while D.J. Fluker enters on the right side for the Ravens.

Inks massive extension
Stanley signed a five-year, $98.75 million extension with the Ravens on Friday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
The 26-year-old was in the final year of his rookie deal, but he's now locked up with Baltimore through the 2025 campaign. Stanley has started 61 games in his four-plus seasons and will remain the Ravens' starting left tackle for the foreseeable future after receiving more than $70 million in total guarantees.

Suiting up Week 6
Stanley (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Eagles.

All clear Sunday
Stanley (sholuder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Bengals.

May be ready Week 5
Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he's "very hopeful" Stanley (shoulder) can play Week 5 against the Bengals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS

Unavailable against Washington
Stanley (shoulder) is inactive for Sunday's game against Washington.
ANALYSIS
Either D.J. Fluker or Orlando Brown will fill in at left tackle for the time being. It'll be a downgrade for the Ravens, but fortunately they won't have to worry about Chase Young (groin) on the edge. Nevertheless, Montez Sweat and Ryan Kerrigan should keep the starter busy Sunday.

May be trending down for Week 4
Stanley (shoulder) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game at Washington, but the Ravens are pessimistic about his chances of playing, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
ANALYSIS
Stanley has missed at least one game every year since the Ravens selected him in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft, and that streak will continue if he's unable to avoid the inactive list ahead of Sunday's 1 p.m. ET kickoff. If the All-Pro left tackle is sidelined, the Ravens would likely turn to either D.J. Fluker or Orlando Brown to replace him.
Oct 2, 2020
Questionable for Week 4
Stanley (shoulder) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game in Washington.
ANALYSIS
