As expected, the Ravens appear ready to plug in Eugene Monroe at left tackle.

Coach John Harbaugh indicated Friday that Monroe, acquired from Jacksonville last week, is on track to start Sunday against Green Bay, the club’s Twitter feed reported.

Monroe will replace Bryant McKinnie, who’s started the first five games on the left side. In Sunday’s win at Miami, McKinnie allowed Dolphins defensive end Dion Jordan to get around the edge on a fourth-quarter pass play, which led to an errant Joe Flacco pass returned for a touchdown to tie the game. Per STATS Inc., McKinnie has allowed 2.5 sacks.

Monroe, 26, has made 62 regular-season starts, including four with the Jaguars to begin this season.
