- The Ravens’ center situation went from manageable to urgent in one game.
- Baltimore lost both Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic to long-term injuries against the Dallas Cowboys, and head coach Jesse Minter said neither is expected back quickly.
- For the moment, the Ravens are planning to keep Ioane there.
- The team could still add a center to the roster, but the immediate path is for Ioane to continue handling the position as Baltimore prepares for Week 4 against the Tennessee Titans.
- Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic identified Chicago Bears center Garrett Bradbury as an “intriguing potential trade option,” and Baltimore had already inquired about him after the Bears used a second-round pick on Iowa center Logan Jones in the 2026 NFL Draft.
- The Ravens’ center plan has been reduced to a simple test: trust the internal answer they already used in a game, or move quickly for help before the shortage becomes even harder to manage.
