The Ravens had to start Mark LeVoir at left guard in their 26-13 loss to the Tennessee Titans.

But with center Andre Gurode working to improve at guard, the Pro Bowler could see himself there soon.

Gurode hasn’t started at guard in six years, which was a big part of the decision to go with LeVoir. Without Grubbs or Gurode, the Ravens only totaled 45 yards rushing and allowed three sacks of quarterback Joe Flacco.

Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh said Gurode is making progress at an unfamiliar position.

“How much advancement, I don’t really know how to measure it,” Harbaugh said in his weekly Monday press conference. “But, he’s getting better there. He never played that before, really. He’s been a center his whole career; he’s been a starting center. So, some of this stuff was different for him. The techniques [and] the angles were different, and that showed up in practice last week.

“That’s why we decided to play Mark at guard. And Mark did OK. I think Mark will get better, too. But, I think Andre is going to make a lot of progress real fast. He could be part of that equation real soon.”

Before the Titans game, Gurode said he would be OK with playing guard if he could get up to speed with the offense.

“If the challenge is there and the opportunity is there, if I can master the playbook, I’m going to do my best to learn the offense and be ready to play on Sunday,” Gurode said last week.
