Todd Monken hints at Patrick Mekari starting at RT For Ravens in Week 1 vs. Chiefs

The Ravens have known for about a week who’ll be the starting offensive line for the gigantic Week 1 matchup against the Chiefs, but the names were withheld for competitive reasons.

Some of those names are starting to trickle out, and there’s an upset at the right tackle spot. Roger Rosengarten was drafted in the second round, but OC Todd Monken hinted at veteran Patrick Mekari getting the call in a hostile environment.

Mekari has logged snaps in five NFL seasons at all five offensive line positions. He’s essentially become a five-tool utility man of immense value, especially on this roster.

Mekari made seven starts between the right and left side, filling in for Ronnie Stanley and Morgan Moses, who dealt with knee and shoulder injuries.
