EAST RUTHERFORD, N.J. — The Ravens had another left tackle go down with an injury. This will hasten the need for Ronnie Stanley to get back in the lineup. Ja'Wuan James suffered another Achilles injury in Week 1 against the New York Jets in the second quarter.
Ravens tackle Ja'Wuan James made it back on the field for Sunday’s game after missing the last two seasons, but he won’t be back for any other games this year.
Offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James has settled his grievance against the Broncos. The NFLPA site shows he will receive $1.09 million, and multiple sources confirm the settlement.
Ronnie Stanley has played one game since an October 2020 ankle injury sidetracked his career, suiting up for the Ravens’ opener last season but missing the rest of the 2021 campaign due to more ankle trouble.
The Ravens lost more depth on the defensive line. Tackle Justin Ellis signed a one-year deal with the Giants, reuniting with Baltimore's former defensive coordinator Don Martindale in New York.
While it was never truly expected that James would be able to recover from a torn Achilles in time to suit up this year, the potential existed when he started practicing on December 8.
Although it is not certain the former first-round pick will play for his new team this season, the Ravens will check on that prospect in the coming days and weeks.
Ravens offensive tackle Ja'Wuan James could recover from his Achilles injury and be back on the field late in the season for the final playoff push, according to coach John Harbaugh.
James was cut loose by the Broncos earlier this year after suffering a torn Achilles’ tendon. The injury happened outside of the team facility.
James’ time in Denver was plagued by injuries, but he was a very solid starter for Miami before that.
James also says that the Broncos facilities weren't in compliance with the NFL's COVID-19 guidelines.
It's highly likely he won't play again until 2022 preseason games unless he ventures outside the NFL early next year.
James recently suffered a torn Achilles while working out away from the team’s facility, thus giving the Broncos the option not to pay him the $10 million he was to be owed in 2021.
Word came out on Tuesday that Denver Broncos' right tackle Ja'Wuan James tore his Achilles tendon while working out away from the team facility and is expected to miss the 2021 season.
It’s been just a few days since the 2021 NFL Draft came to an end. Unfortunately, news coming from the Denver Broncos on Tuesday would have impacted the annual event if it had happened less than a week earlier.
According to ESPN's Jeff Legwold, the Broncos knew James was considering opting out weeks ago.
