The left guard position has been an important topic of discussion since the beginning of the offseason. Last year’s starter Alex Lewis was traded to the Jets for a 2020 seventh-round draft pick after an inconsistent and injury-riddled three years with the Ravens. Coaches were hoping that someone would outplay their competition after the Lewis trade, but nobody has done so.
With no clear-cut starter at the moment, the past two preseason games have been used as a measure of consistency to determine who would be best fit to handle starting LG duties.
