Just after the Baltimore Ravens offensive line put its best game together in a win over the Dallas Cowboys, they now face uncertainty going into Week 4.
Ahead of a "Sunday Night Football" game against the Buffalo Bills, the Ravens may have some injuries along the O-line.
According to practice reports, starting left guard Andrew Vorhees has not been practicing this week with an ankle injury.
Starting center Tyler Linderbaum and right tackle Patrick Mekari were both back at practice on Thursday after missing Wednesday's practice with knee and neck injuries, respectively. Their statuses obviously bear watching as the week goes on.
As The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec noted, it's unclear how the Ravens would replace Vorhees if he cannot go. It could cause some shuffling on the offensive line and leave someone playing out of position.
It will be interesting what the Ravens do at LG if Andrew Vorhees can't go vs. Bills Sunday night.

They could move Mekari to LG and start Rosengarten at RT
They could start Ben Cleveland at LG. Or they could start Josh Jones at LG
Vorhees is a first-time starter and essentially a red-shirt rookie after missing his rookie season with a torn ACL. However, he's been a positive presence on the shaky line. While his PFF grade is that of an average or below-average lineman, he's yet to allow a sack.
Ravens offensive line draws praise for Week 3 win
The Ravens offensive line was highly scrutinized amid an 0-2 start to the season. While much of that was directed toward converted right tackle Daniel Faalele's struggles, the Ravens had still been questioned for letting three veteran offensive linemen leave in the offseason.
The unit rallied in Week 3, however. The Ravens ran all over the Cowboys for 274 yards while not giving up a sack.
Faalele had his best game of the season, drawing praise from Lamar Jackson.
Coaches, players, analysts, and fans alike praised the line for a strong outing and coming together amid the scrutiny.
Baltimore will have to hope for its full unit in Week 4 against the undefeated Bills.
