No shock. Was clearly a season ender when you saw it live. 

Next man up. We will see how it goes. The nice thing is that we have several options here. Start with Garland and see how it goes. If he bombs, person and brunskill will get their shot

Brutal injury for him...and seems like potentially a pretty significant blow to one of the "contender" teams.  Can really disrupt an OLine, losing an important anchor piece like that.  We'll see how they adjust i guess.

The Ravens just lost their starting center as well.

How'd they look against buffalo without Skura? I thought they handled themselves very well against the 49ers without him. 

There were some errant snaps that contributed to lesser plays, but overall the Ravens have been exceptionally lucky to have discovered Patrick Mekari. Great pass protector at Cal as a Tackle, but short arms left him undrafted and the Ravens kicked him inside to great results. He's relegated our 4th Round IOL pick Ben Powers to the inactive designation and cemented himself as an ascending talent on an OL that's already pretty blessed(Stanley, OBJ, Yanda). There's been hiccups, but it would've been insane to not expect them in such a situation. Admittedly our system and Lamar make it easier on the OL in many ways, but we really can't complain. It's been a murderers' row between Aaron Donald & co, Ed Oliver and the Bills' line, and then your monsters on the Niners. We'll take what we can get.

You guys should be fine too. This is one of many instances where it's great to have a mind like Kyle's in house. He'll adapt your offense to the new circumstances. Which sadly isn't a consistent trait among all coaches.
