Since Terrell Suggs' Achilles' tendon injury, the biggest question facing the Ravens' defense has been how to replace the NFL's reigning Defensive Player of the Year. After Wednesday's organized team activity, new defensive coordinator Dean Pees discussed the prospect of having to fill that void with less proven players than the one known as "T-Sizzle." "Unfortunately, the situation with Terrell, we would like that to
About an hour after the Ravens' OTA wrapped up last Wednesday, Billy Cundiff found himself surrounded by a horde of reporters. Cameras and microphones extended to pick up what the Ravens kicker had to say in one of his first public appearances since he played a pivotal role in ending the team's 2011 season short of the Super Bowl. Back in January's AFC championship, Cundiff
When the Ravens opened their organized team activity this week, several veterans were missing, which is nothing unexpected. But considering star tailback Ray Rice's uncertain contract situation, his absence was particularly noticeable. The team placed its franchise tag on Rice in March to ensure it held onto the rights of one of the league's premier backs. Ravens coach John Harbaugh didn't have an update on
On Friday, Ravens safety Ed Reed created a bit of a stir when he recently said he's "not 100 percent committed" to playing football this coming season.

Ogden was one of 14 players named to this year's group, and could be a first-ballot inductee to the
The Ravens announced five rookie free-agent signings Tuesday, highlighted by the acquisition of former Alabama State linebacker Nigel Carr. They also brought in tight ends Matt Balasavage (Temple) and Bruce Figgins (Georgia), cornerback Jordan Mabin (Northwestern) and quarterback Chester Stewart (Temple). To make room for those additions, the Ravens released fullback Jamison Berryhill (Texas), defensive back Charles Brown (North Carolina), linebacker Eltoro Freeman (Auburn) and
One of the nice things about the NFL's new collective bargaining agreement has to be the way the NFL draft salaries are handled. Remember when the first overall pick was paid a boatload of money, leaving the remaining first-rounders to negotiate their salaries based on how much they assumed they were worth? A flawed system, to say the least. Some players held out, taking months
A few days have gone by to settle in to the news that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs will be sidelined for much of the 2012 season. Suggs, as most of you know, partially tore his ACL during a conditioning drill in Arizona, yet despite the association of severity that comes with an injury to an ACL, the reigning Defensive Player of the Year has vowed
Is it possible to "ball too hard?" Terrell Suggs found out the hard way that, indeed, it is.
