During their 20-10 victory Sunday over your Los Angeles Chargers, the Baltimore Ravens were apparently fielding an ailing roster. 

After the bout, longtime Baltimore head coach John Harbaugh discussed just to what extent offensive tackle Ronnie Stanley had been playing through a lingering knee ailment, as Jamison Hensley of ESPN relays:

“He’d be the first to tell you it’s not been great," Harbaugh told gathered reporters. "He needs to get stronger and get his technique right. He’s a great player. We want to get him back to playing at that high level.”

Stanley has been limited for much of the year. He was hit with two penalties during the game, and permitted six QB pressures. He's allowed four sacks this season so far. With or without an ailing Stanley, Baltimore's grinding defense held the prolific Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert to a single touchdown.

With the defeat, your Bolts dropped to a disturbing 4-7 record on the year, their postseason hopes all but wiped out. Conversely, the AFC-leading Ravens now sit pretty with an impeccable 9-3 record.

Baltimore now has a bye week, which should give Stanley a little time to recuperate.
