Jovaughn Gwyn earns starting center role for Baltimore Ravens in Week 1

The Baltimore Ravens have named Jovaughn Gwyn the starting center for the upcoming Week 1 game. Head coach Jesse Minter confirmed the decision after Gwyn outperformed veteran Ethan Pocic during the team's training camp. Gwyn, a 2023 seventh-round draft pick who previously spent three seasons with the Atlanta Falcons, earned the position following consistent work with the starting offensive line throughout the preseason. He will make his first NFL start this Sunday, providing blocks for quarterback Lamar Jackson. The transition to Baltimore follows his move to rejoin former Falcons offensive line coach Dwayne Ledford. Atlanta is scheduled to face the Baltimore Ravens later this season during a Sunday Night Football matchup in Week 5.
