The only problem is as a backup he would have to be a swing tackle and I doubt he could even fake it on the left side. He's also not beating Faalele or Mekari. Cleveland is going to be under the microscope this training camp. He is clearly the weak link.

John Harbaugh has said a lot of good things about John Simpson. I think he's going to get a chance to win that LG job and it's possible he does just that

Is there any chance that Zeitler could move to LG?

I suspect not. He's been a career RG, and the Ravens are happy with him. Little justification for a move.
And then it would just raise the question: who plays RG?

Michael Thomas separated his shoulder and needs surgery? On day one? I didn't even know he was on the team...

How do you get a separated shoulder in non-contact activities?

Yeah, not the Ohio State/New Orleans Saints Michael Thomas. This one is the Southern Miss/LA Rams/Cincinnati Bengals Michael Thomas, he of 30 receptions for 366 yards in his 7 year NFL career.

Michael Jackson used to play for the Ravens too!

He was so smooth in his routes, it was almost criminal.

I'm glad about the things I've been hearing and reading about Ben Cleveland. The talk is that he looks in great shape and is working his tail off on every rep and drill out there. This is his moment to breakout and take position as LG. Especially now with a zone transition.

He looks pretty fit in this shot. I hope it translates to locking down that LG spot.
