Suggs

As Terrell Suggs attempts to come back after successful surgery to repair his partially torn right Achilles tendon, there remains scrutiny over how the Ravens' outside linebacker sustained the injury in the first place. Two days after Suggs told my colleague Mike Preston that he is "going to shock a lot of people" with a healthy return from the injury sometime during the regular season, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported again that Suggs was injured in late April while playing basketball in Arizona, something Suggs had strongly denied to us . Schefter had two employees of the gym in Arizona saying on the record that Suggs was injured playing in a tournament.

The new general of the Ravens defense had been quiet ever since the team won the Super Bowl in early February. Terrell Suggs was silent as top young linebackers Dannell Ellerbe and Paul Kruger signed lucrative contracts elsewhere, and the older players like Anquan Boldin, Ed Reed and Bernard Pollard were shown the door. With those departures, Suggs had become the team's defensive leader by deed and default. But on Sunday night, minutes before he agreed to an interview, the Ravens Pro Bowl outside linebacker/defensive end learned that the Ravens had agreed in principle with another Pro Bowl player, former Denver Broncos defensive end Elvis Dumervil.

On November 1, 2003; PATRICIA ELAINE SUGGS. On today, Ms. Suggs will lie instate at Mt. Calvary Freewill Baptist Church, 1607 E. Oliver Street, where the family will receive friends from 10:00 to 11:00 AM with Services to follow. Inquiries to 410-433-7500.

Can't wait for the Ravens' first defensive team meeting in the upcoming minicamps, when coordinator Dean Pees hands out those little plastic name tags that say: “Hi, my name is ­­­­­­­­­_ _ _ _"  and each player has to stand and tell the others a little bit about himself. No Ray Lewis, no Ed Reed, no Bernard Pollard, no Dannell Ellerbe, no Cary Williams, no Paul Kruger - this is getting serious. This isn't the Ravens doing a little nip-and-tuck on the defense. This is a complete makeover.

Ravens Pro Bowl outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said he wasn't talking until he started playing. He started playing again Thursday night against the Atlanta Falcons. And now, he's talking. "My goal right now is to get me some Lombardi," Suggs said of the Vince Lombardi Trophy, awarded to the Super Bowl winner. "I've accomplished just about everything there is to accomplish individually. Now it's time for us to get over the hump and get some Lombardi." If you thought there was going to be significant rust on Suggs after nearly a month's layoff because of a leg injury, those concerns were eased against the Falcons.

At yesterday's first day of mandatory minicamp, Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs felt as if he were back at home, running with the NFL's top-ranked defense on the field and joking with his teammates off it. It was the type of day that makes Suggs excited about this season with the Ravens and beyond. The two-time Pro Bowl linebacker said yesterday that he is interested in signing an extension with the Ravens before he becomes one of the most sought-after free agents at the end of the season.

It was about three weeks ago when Terrell Suggs said NFL officials look at the Ravens more closely than other teams. Well, if the officials didn't do this before, Suggs has certainly given them reason to do so. The NFL is "aggressively" investigating Suggs' recent comments on an Atlanta sports talk show that the Ravens had a "bounty" on Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Hines Ward and running back Rashard Mendenhall (who suffered a season-ending shoulder...

Not sure what the referee saw when he called Terrell Suggs for roughing the passer with a little under six minutes left in the game on a third-down play. The penalty kept the Tennessee drive going at the Titans' 35-yard line. It was a blow-to-the-head call as Suggs' right arm caught Titans QB Kerry Collins with what looked like a glancing blow. It appeared that Suggs might have been going for the ball as he was blocked and the contact with Collins' helmet appeared incidental as his arm landed on the quarterback's shoulder.

You don't have to be a serious fan to know the NFL Films look and sound. Stunning shots of overcast skies hanging low over packed stadiums are accompanied by tympanies rumbling and choral voices soaring as a perfect spiral sails in slow motion through the lights down into the heavenward-stretched hands of an airborne receiver. And that lyricism is juxtaposed with the most in-your-face mud, blood, grime and grit, hand-held close-ups you will ever see on a screen. Sometimes it feels as if you are in the middle of the mayhem on the field.

San Francisco 49ers offensive tackle Anthony Davis called Terrell Suggs a “[expletive] loser” on his Twitter feed today after he took offense to comments made by the Ravens linebacker on a San Francisco-based radio show. Making an appearance on KNBR 680-AM largely to promote “The Coalition,” a movie he co-wrote, Suggs was asked about comments made by teammate Cary Williams following the Ravens' 34-31 victory over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII on Feb. 3. Williams, a starting cornerback who was involved in a post-whistle scrum during the Super Bowl that led to him pushing a game official, called the 49ers “fake tough guys” and “pretenders” in the locker room after the game.

It appears that Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs won't have to spend a second consecutive offseason recovering from surgery. After getting a second opinion on his torn right biceps, Suggs is planning on rehabbing the injury rather than having it surgically repaired, according to sources familiar with the situation. Suggs tore the biceps late in the Ravens' Dec. 2 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He sat out the following week's game against the Washington Redskins and was also rested in the team's regular-season finale against the Cincinnati Bengals, a game that carried no meaning for the Ravens.

The Ravens are waiting to hear the results of a second opinion that outside linebacker Terrell Suggs sought on his right arm to determine if surgery is necessary to repair a torn biceps. Suggs tore his biceps in the Ravens' Dec. 2 home loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. He missed just one game because of the injury but he said all along that offseason surgery to repair the tear was a legitimate possibility. If he decides to have the surgery, it will mark the second consecutive year where the NFL's 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year will face a rehabilitation program in the offseason.

Many factors played into the Ravens' run to Super Bowl XLVII, including quarterback Joe Flacco's inspired play, wide receiver-return specialist Jacoby Jones' contributions and the revamped offensive line's performances. Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs thinks another reason was inside linebacker Ray Lewis' retirement announcement four days prior to the team's first playoff game against the Indianapolis Colts. “You could say what sparked it was Ray [Lewis'] announcement when he said that this would be his last playoff run with us,” Suggs said Friday night as a guest of the NFL Network's “NFL Total Access” program.

Terrell Suggs couldn't have flown under the radar yesterday even if he had tried. But anyone who knows him knew he wasn't going to try. And his teammates and coaches made sure Suggs wouldn't end up there, anyway. Suggs' prints were all over the scene of the crime the Ravens committed against the Oakland Raiders, a deceptive 29-10 victory at M&T Bank Stadium. Every plot line ran through him. Even when the Ravens had the ball - especially then. It would have been plain wrong for John Harbaugh to pass up the chance to toy with the living, breathing headline machine Suggs had been all week.

While the Ravens front office contemplates Joe Flacco's agent's insistence that his client should be the highest-paid quarterback in the NFL, Flacco's teammates have a pretty good idea of where Flacco stands with the rest of his peers. “He deserves to get paid,” outside linebacker Terrell Suggs said as a guest on The NFL Network's “NFL Total Access” program Friday night. “Where he scales at, that's between our front office and his agent. But he definitely deserves it. The man has a championship ring and you reward your champion by paying him.” Wide receiver and return specialist Jacoby Jones appeared on the same program and voiced a similar opinion.

Terrell Suggs didn't need a microphone. The booming voice from the Ravens outside linebacker was easily heard during the Super Bowl media day Tuesday. Suggs embraced the wackiness often associated with media day, pulling his own antics during the hour-long session Tuesday morning at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome. Just a few questions into the interview, Suggs jumped up from his seat and asked, "We're good? I'm done?" He left the podium and tried to ask teammate Ed Reed a question, but Suggs couldn't get through the crowd assembled for the Ravens safety.
