Ravens/Titans Friday Injury Report & Game Status

by Bruce Raffel on Sep 16, 2011 7:00 PM EDT

The Baltimore Ravens released their final injury report in advance of their game at the Tennessee Titans on Sunday. Both cornerbacks Jimmy Smith (ankle) and Chris Carr (hamstring) have already been ruled out. Guard Ben Grubbs is listed as doubtful (toe) and WR Lee Evans (ankle) and FB Vonta Leach (foot) are listed as probable.

The only name on the Titans side listed was safety Chris Hope (shoulder) as probable, so Tennessee figures to be pretty much totally healthy while the Ravens will be short in their secondary. While Domonique Foxworth is not on the injury report, it's pretty obvious he is not fully recovered from his off season ACL surgery and seems slow and hesitant.

That leaves Cary Williams and Lardarius Webb as the starting cornerbacks, with Foxworth as the primary backup and nickel back. The team also has rookie Chykie Brown, who was inactive for last week's game but could be a real possibility to be active for Sunday. There's also safety Haruki Nakamura, who filled in at cornerback for portions of the game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.

With Grubbs most likely out, does that mean Gurode will get the start at LG? He was originally a Guard when drafted then moved to Center. That would be the best option IMO being as he has a far better track record than LeVoir or Mattison.

According to the depth chart on the ravens website Gurode is the primary back up at C/LG/RG.

So most likely. Maybe LeVoir gets the nod but I doubt it. Gurode is definitely the best offensive lineman we have in reserve and he can play guard.

Not too shabby of a backup if you ask me. That was a huge signing for us because Gurode can play all of the interior positions and do so at a very high level.

Not worried at all.
