This move I just don't understand. We're now going to carry 6 guards on the active roster and virtually no backups at ILB with Mosley hurt. Turner hasn't been good at all since drafted, maybe they think they can fix him.

Possibly they'll slide Albert to the inside and activate Judon in his place. Albert is good against the run but not the pass. I guess we'll see soon enough

Stop gap measure.  Two out of the three injured lineman may be a week or two out, with one perhaps longer.  These two signings aren't going be here long, or two of our existing lineman are headed to the IR soon, or getting their papers.  I am in the camp of temporary signing of these two. 

I'm surprised Hurst is still here. I don't see how the Raven's could even send him out on the field again. Jensen hasn't really looked much better. I think that the Raven's are hoping one of these guys they've brought in can actually play football in the NFL...

This team is a MESS.

Joe better make sure that his life insurance is current....Turner was a complete disaster on the absolute worse O-line in the NFL. If he plays, Flacco's only chance will be to have Morgan Cox come in at center and snap the ball back 15 yards.

The two of them had a rough outing vs. Raiders.  I hope they have a better game on Sunday.  Jensen rated 30th out of 61 guards last week.  He's not the bottom of the barrel.  Hurst is going to have to pick it up and fast.  Jensen has been bouncing around from position to position.  I don't think that helps with consistency.

Monroe would get hurt signing the contract

LOLOLOLOL !!!!! ????????

these injuries must be worse than expected.

[Flamengo1265]

The Cowboys have two tackles on their practice squad.....I would have rather seen us sign either one of those guys before Turner, who is an absolute turnstile.

[Halshayeji]

I think he's an upgrade to hurst and Jensen with a huge upside but I was hoping for someone to push for starting time day 1

Desperation move to shore up the Offensive Line, and one that will weaken an already shaky secondary with the loss of Carter.  Couldn't have afforded to keep him, but certainly missing KO now.

This is the best guy out there?!? A Dolphin reject?!? If there is an OL playing worse than ours it's the Dolphin's. Tannehill has suffered even more sacks, hurries, and hits than Joe has. My son, who lives barely north of the Florida/Georgia border and is a Huge Dolphin fan (the turncoat, LOL), has moaned and groaned about their OL for at least three years now. And one of their castoffs is the best Oz thinks he can find?!? Gotta say, this move doesn't excite me much. Hope I'm wrong.

For sure. KO would've been an absolute keep except for the salary cap. Lots of others players definitely making way more than they are actually worth. Flacco is a part of that. Ravens dead money is huge as well.
