Ioane (knee) was a full participant at the Ravens' practice Tuesday.
Ioane is set to return to action Thursday night against the Jaguars after missing Week 8 with a sprained MCL in his right knee that he suffered in Week 7 against the Bengals. The 22-year-old will likely be back in his starting role at right guard versus Jacksonville.

Ravens' Vega Ioane: Ruled out for Week 8
Rotowire
Ioane (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's battle against Buffalo.
Ioane suffered a sprained MCL in his right knee this past Sunday against Cincinnati. He did manage a pair of limited practices to end Week 8 prep, but that's not enough for him to suit up Sunday. The Ravens have a short week ahead -- they play Jacksonville next Thursday -- which makes it more challenging for Ioane to avoid missing multiple games.

Ravens' Vega Ioane: Dealing with sprained MCL
Rotowire
Ioane (knee) is expected to miss time after suffering an MCL sprain during Sunday's game versus the Bengals, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Per Hensley, on the bright side, Ioane's injury is not believed to be a long-term issue. As of Tuesday, he has not been placed on the Ravens' injured reserve list. It's still not clear exactly how many games he'll have to sit out, but in the meantime, 2025 third-rounder Emory Jones figures to take over as Baltimore's starting right guard.

Ravens' Olaivavega Ioane: Reeled in by Ravens
Rotowire
The Ravens selected Ioane in the first round of the 2026 NFL Draft, 14th overall.
The Ravens needed to rebuild their offensive line after allowing it to fall into some amount of decay in recent years, and Ioane was a common-sense first step toward achieving that. Ioane (6-foot-4, 320 pounds) is a mauler out of Penn State who perfectly fits the Ravens' bruising aesthetic and brings a strong skill set to go within the mauler category. He should be a high-floor, high-ceiling starter at guard and packs some serious athleticism (31.5-inch vertical) on his dense frame. Though there's still work to do on the offensive line for Baltimore, perhaps at center especially, Ioane is a big upgrade in the meantime.
