Strong safety Dawan Landry was released from Maryland Shock Trauma Center and is expected to return to the field this season after suffering a spinal cord concussion in the second quarter of Sunday's 28-10 win against the Cleveland Browns.
"His stability tests are all normal," coach John Harbaugh said. "He will be in a cervical collar for at least a week, and then they'll evaluate him further and then we'll just take it from there. He'll be playing in some number of weeks, and it won't be too many weeks."
Harbaugh expressed gratitude for the Browns' concerns for Landry. "Their attitude and the respect they had for him as a player and for the Ravens as a team was pretty obvious," he said. "These guys care about each other in this league, and you could see that. Guys were kneeling and praying, and that was a strong statement."
In other injury news, cornerback Samari Rolle said his right shoulder is painful but that he intends to practice this week in preparation for Monday night's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. "As long as they let me [practice], yeah, I plan to be there," Rolle said.
Running back Willis McGahee (cut on right eyelid) might be limited in practice this week, but Harbaugh said he could play against the Steelers.
Wide receiver-return specialist Yamon Figurs (hamstring) and linebacker Nick Greisen (quadriceps) said they plan to be available for Monday's game.
Group rushing effort
In the case of the Ravens' rushing attack, quantity produces quality.
For the second consecutive game, the offense used a rotation in the backfield, and that approach contributed to another victory.
McGahee, Le'Ron McClain and rookie Ray Rice combined to carry the football 37 times for 151 yards and three touchdowns Sunday.
In the season-opening 17-10 victory over the Cincinnati Bengals, McClain, Rice, and even wide receiver Mark Clayton and rookie quarterback Joe Flacco gained 229 yards - the sixth-most in franchise history - on 46 rushes and scored two touchdowns.
Although some of the reasoning behind the running back-by-committee philosophy involves relieving some of the weight on McGahee, who played Sunday for the first time this season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery on his left knee last month, McClain said the running backs have grown accustomed to the rotation.
