They should have done what Belichick did with Jones and Zappe- just say Ryan is limited in practice all week and then start Ehlinger on Sunday.
There’s literally nothing to gain by announcing it on Monday.

Except maybe to instill confidence in Ehlinger and let the OL know that they may be the reason Ryan got benched. They've even announced he's the starter from here on out, thus negating the need for him to do or die in his first start. He's under enough pressure as it is.
