When Morgan Cox became the Ravens' long snapper for the immediate future Saturday, he estimated he received 80 text messages and posts on his Facebook account congratulating him. But the rookie from Tennessee said he can't remain content with his standing on the team. "People are proud of me, but I take that with a grain of salt," Cox said after Monday's practice at McDaniel College in Westminster. "It's a job. It's not quite college, where I've got the next four years. There's always competition and there's always somebody behind me wanting my spot.

Returning to Cleveland may be a bittersweet memory for Ravens general manager Ozzie Newsome and several other employees who worked for the franchise under its previous incarnation as the Browns. For Morgan Cox, the trip is memorable for a different reason. On Dec. 26, 2010, the long snapper tore the anterior cruciate ligament in his left knee while blocking on Billy Cundiff's 27-yard field goal in the second quarter en route to an eventual Ravens' 20-10 win. Fortunately for Cox, he hasn't allowed the memory of that injury to seep into his consciousness when returning to Cleveland Browns Stadium.

Seven people were hospitalized Sunday morning after a vehicle collided with a "mobility" bus that was transporting five special-needs passengers, Anne Arundel County fire and police officials said. The two-vehicle accident — which occurred on College Parkway near Peninsula Farm Road, in the Arnold area of Anne Arundel County — was reported around 8:23 a.m., according to Anne Arundel Fire Division Chief Michael Cox. All of the victims were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries, Cox said.

On Sunday afternoon, Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox will return to Cleveland Browns Stadium, where he suffered a season-ending knee injury in the team's Week 16 win over the Browns a year ago. It's something he has thought about this week, though he said the ugly memories will not change his mindset on game day. “It's not a real big deal,” Cox said after Friday's practice. “I've had a year in me since then, and it's stood the test, so we'll see how it goes on that field. We played at Pittsburgh, which is a similar field, so I think we'll be fine.” Cox acknowledged that at times early in the season, the fear of injury popped into his head, thoughts like “I've got to protect my knee.” But because he has snapped many times in games since, he believes he is over it mentally.

Ravens long snapper Morgan Cox has been named the team's 2011 Ed Block Courage Award recipient. Here's the full news release:   The Ed Block Courage Award Foundation has announced that LS Morgan Cox is the recipient of the 2011 Ed Block Courage Award for the Baltimore Ravens. Cox was the lone undrafted rookie free agent to make the Ravens' 53-man roster during the 2010 campaign. In his first NFL season, he snapped for a pair of specialists who earned Pro Bowl honors, starting kicker Billy Cundiff and first-alternate punter Sam Koch.
