Ravens assistant GM Eric DeCosta says second-year OL Kelechi Osemele has the "skill set to be an outstanding right tackle."

Osemele, the No. 60 overall pick in last year's draft, started all 16 regular season games at right tackle as a rookie before moving to left guard for the playoffs. With Bryant McKinnie back in the fold, Osemele will focus on left guard as a sophomore. But left tackle-turned-right tackle Michael Oher is scheduled to be a free agent next offseason, and there have been no talks of a long-term deal.

With Bryant McKinnie back in the fold, Ravens second-year OL Kelechi Osemele will focus on left guard this season.

Osemele was shuttled all around the line as a rookie before settling in at left guard and turning in a dominant playoff run. Most memorably, he physically manhandled Vince Wilfork repeatedly in the AFC title game before kicking the tar out of Justin Smith in Super Bowl 47. A dancing bear-slash-mauler at 6-foot-5, 333, Osemele may soon develop into Baltimore's best offensive lineman.

When asked if he'll start, Osemele replied, "I think so. It looks like it." The second-round pick had been working at left guard and right tackle throughout camp. Michael Oher will man the blindside, Bobbie Williams will play left guard, and Bryant McKinnie will work off of the bench.

Ravens second-round Kelechi Osemele is in the mix for the team's starting right tackle job.

After missing several weeks with a quadriceps injury, the team signed Bobbie Williams, who is in line to start at left guard. That leaves Osemele to compete with Ramon Harewood and Jah Reid for the right tackle job. Left tackle was Osemele's primary position at Iowa State.

Ravens second-round OG Kelechi Osemele has been sidelined "for weeks" with a quadriceps injury.

Osemele is expected to be healthy for training camp, but he's missed valuable reps during offensive install. His injury helps explain the signing of veteran Bobbie Williams, who received an $800,000 signing bonus and first-team reps in Tuesday's practice.
