The Baltimore Ravens are gearing up to play the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 5 divisional showdown on Sunday night. They will be looking to pick up their first home win of the 2022 season, as they are on a home-losing streak that dates back all the way to 2021.
On Saturday, it was revealed by Mike Garafolo of NFL Network that Baltimore is expecting to get back a key piece of their team against Cincinnati. He let it be known that offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley is expected to return to the field for his first game since the 2021 season-opener against the Las Vegas Raiders.
The #Ravens will welcome All-Pro LT Ronnie Stanley back tomorrow, sources tell me and @RapSheet. After being held out the last few weeks, Stanley will play for the first time since last season’s opener and only the second time since fracturing his ankle almost two years ago.

The Ravens have missed Stanley on the field for quite some time now, as Sunday night will mark the second game he’s played in since the middle of the 2020 season. He’s one of the best at his position both in the run and pass game, and could be the final piece of the puzzle that unlocks Baltimore’s offensive line.
