The Ravens will have to try and run the table without one of their leading pass rushers. Trevor Pryce, who already missed five games with a broken wrist has a torn pectoral muscle and, according to Brian Billick, will "very likely" miss the duration of the season. Pryce had 13 sacks for the Ravens in 2006, his first in Baltimore, and has two in his limited playing time this season. The Ravens defense has been besieged with injuries this season which has made them a less aggressive and less threatening unit than in past years.
Dwan Edwards took over the starting role when Pryce went down in Week Two and while he's proven capable of stopping the run he doesn't have Pryce's penchant for the big play. The Ravens will likely give rookie Antwan Barnes more of a look in the next six weeks and if the duo proves adept enough Pryce could potentially find himself a salary cap casualty after the season. He's 32, the Ravens have depth with Kelly Gregg and Haloti Ngata and could be moving in a different direction after this rough campaign winds up.
Taking into account that it's the preseason, many of the players sitting on the sidelines tonight would normally be on the field if it was a meaningful game. With that said, I'm sure most fans would like to know who they should expect to see this evening. For that reason, I've done by best to create an accurate injury report -- official reports are not posted until week one of the regular season.
