It will be very difficult to replace Yanda, especially at this point in the season. Additionally, linebacker Bam Bradley tore his ACL. The Ravens currently have 15 players on injured reserve.

Tony Bergstrom is expected to replace Yanda. He filled in for him on Sunday and is expected to be the replacement moving forward.
