The Baltimore Ravens are assessing their starting center options for Week 1 of the NFL season. Danny Pinter, who was thought to be the frontrunner for the position, is sidelined with a knee injury expected to keep him out for an extended period. Jovaughn Gwyn and Ethan Pocic are next in line, with Gwyn emerging as a strong candidate following a solid performance in the preseason. Pocic's status, however, is uncertain as he continues to recover from a torn Achilles. The Ravens are hoping for Pocic's health to improve ahead of the regular season, as his experience could provide an advantage over Gwyn.
