Coming off its best game yet, the Ravens' offensive line has a new question mark heading into Sunday's game versus the Buffalo Bills.

Left guard Andrew Vorhees is dealing with an ankle injury and didn't practice all week. He's listed as doubtful to play.

Head Coach John Harbaugh said it will be a gametime decision on whether Vorhees, who worked out with a trainer on a nearby field Friday, will play Sunday night.

The Ravens have options if Vorhees can't go. They could insert Ben Cleveland, Josh Jones, or Sala Aumavae-Laulu at left guard, but none have much game experience there.

They could also move Patrick Mekari from right tackle to left guard and give rookie Roger Rosengarten the start and a full workload at right tackle. Mekari gives the Ravens versatility, and it's something they could rely on in a situation like this.

Rosengarten didn't play any snaps last week in Dallas after the offense got off to a hot start, but the second-round pick played well the week prior against Maxx Crosby and the Las Vegas Raiders.

Center Tyler Linderbaum is dealing with a knee issue that sidelined him Wednesday, but he was a full practice participant by Friday. He's listed as questionable to play.

After mauling the Cowboys on the ground last week, the Ravens will look to establish the run against the Bills on Sunday night, but it will be a tougher task against a strong Buffalo Bills front featuring defensive tackle Ed Oliver.

The Ravens' depth at cornerback may also be tested a bit as Jalyn Armour-Davis (hamstring) has been ruled out.

Bills Rule Out Two Defensive Starters

The Bills have ruled out starting linebacker Terrel Bernard (pectoral) and nickel cornerback Taron Johnson (forearm), which leaves them even thinner at linebacker and without one of their top players in the secondary.

Buffalo already lost leading linebacker Matt Milano to a torn biceps during training camp.

The Bills' defensive injuries leave them more susceptible to the Ravens' strong rushing attack with Derrick Henry and Lamar Jackson.
