Harbaugh Comments on Suggs' Recovery, Potential Return

Friday, Aug. 12

Suggs is part of a group of Ravens stars (Steve Smith and Elvis Dumervil being the others) coach John Harbaugh expects to be ready for Week 1 of the regular season, per David Ginsburg of the Associated Press:

"

They're all working really hard to play in the preseason, but we're certainly expecting them all back for the opener. We'll just have to make some decisions. Terrell Suggs is the closest. He had the injury the soonest. He's already on me about practice, and I'm holding him back right now. He'll be out there soon practicing. How much we play him remains to be seen. The other guys are probably a little longer away than he is — him being ready — but we'll just see where we go.

Ravens Need Suggs Healthy for Playoff Push

Suggs joined the Ravens as the 10th overall pick in the 2003 draft and has never left. He's remained a stalwart member of the Baltimore defense for more than a decade, racking up over 100 sacks, earning six Pro Bowl selections and helping the team claim the Super Bowl XLVII title in 2013.

Although he's been durable throughout his career, he suffered a season-ending Achilles tendon tear in the opener last year. His only other extended absence came during the 2012 campaign—for the same reason, a torn Achilles that forced him to miss the first half of the season.

Suggs can still be an impact player for the Ravens at 33 years old. Baltimore will hope he can put his recent injury issues behind him once he's back to full strength.
