Stanley entered Week 4 as a game-time decision and was cleared just before kickoff. However, he left the game early in the first quarter, favoring the same ankle that had bothered him throughout the week. The Ravens confirmed that he is questionable to return on X, formerly Twitter.
The injury did not occur on one specific play. Stanley instead sought medical attention while the offense was on the sidelines.
Shortly after Stanley's injury, the Ravens reported that cornerback Marlon Humphrey and linebacker Roquan Smith are also questionable to return with leg injuries.
The Ravens are limited to Roger Rosengarten and Joe Noteboom at tackle if Stanley is unable to return, with rookie Carson Vinson ruled inactive. Baltimore signed Noteboom in the offseason specifically to have depth behind Stanley.

Entering Week 4, Stanley has played all but three of the team's offensive snaps on the year. Stanley played 100 percent of the offensive snaps in Week 1 against the Kansas City Chiefs, and again in Week 3 against the Detroit Lions .
Before he went down, Baltimore was able to execute a nine-play, 70-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession. Justice Hill capped off that drive with an 11-yard score.
However, since then, the Ravens managed just 57 yards on their ensuing three drives. Lamar Jackson threw an interception on the team's ensuing possession before going three-and-out and turning the ball over on downs.
