The Ravens are looking for a starting left guard, and James Hurst, Ben Powers and Jermaine Eluemunor are the most likely bets.

With the Ravens set to have their first practice July 25, about one month from now, here's what to watch in training camp.

Most of the focus for the Ravens in 2019 will be on second-year quarterback Lamar Jackson, but the offensive line will be just as critical.

After 12 seasons with the Ravens, guard Marshal Yanda decided this offseason to return for at least one more season — but only because he was healthy.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh might have set a precedent when he pulled defensive tackle Michael Pierce from practice on the first day of minicamp.

The soft-spoken Onwuasor will not have to talk like Steve Smith Sr. to command the defense from the middle of the field.

This is an offseason of change for Lamar Jackson and the Ravens offense he will now lead.

Kicker Justin Tucker, 29, signed a contract extension with the Ravens through 2023 reportedly worth $23.05 million, including $12.5 million fully guaranteed.

Yanda’s Pro Football Focus rating has slipped each of the past five years, but he still graded out as the third-best guard in the NFL in 2018.

The 34-year-old Marshal Yanda had not said publicly whether he intended to return for his 13th season before agreeing to an extension with the Ravens on Thursday.

Eric Weddle, 34, was named to the Pro Bowl in each of his three seasons with the Ravens.

“I haven’t heard that he’s not” returning, John Harbaugh said of Marshal Yanda at the NFL scouting combine.

If the Ravens want to build on last season’s playoff run, they can look to the Patriots for blueprints.

“Again, I think we want to have the best players we can that we can fit in under the salary cap,” general manager Eric DeCosta said at his introductory news conference.

John Harbaugh acknowledged that the decisions on Marshal Yanda and Eric Weddle are still pending but was hopeful they’d go the Ravens’ way.

"I vowed to myself and to my wife that we could not take a trip to Hawaii until after I went to the Pro Bowl," Ravens DT Brandon Williams said in a statement after being named a Pro Bowler for the first time. "Honey, pack your bags!”

Kicker Justin Tucker was the Ravens' lone player to earn All-NFL honors.

Over the next three-plus month, the Ravens have a lot to do. Some priorities, though, are a little more important than others.

“Knowing the business side of this league, it can be like the Wild West out there come March, and free agency and the draft,” Justin Tucker said.

Only 11 players remain from the last Ravens team that made the playoffs in 2014. Those survivors are counseling younger teammates to cherish the opportunity as they prepare to play the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday.

Right guard Marshal Yanda and slot cornerback Tavon Young were the only players to miss Wednesday’s practice, and Yanda was given the day off as a veteran.

The Ravens need to find a more balanced offense against the Titans.
