Terrell Suggs Torn Achilles

[paulcoates]

So by "playing" you meant practicing, involved in activities and ready to go.

I'll be interested to hear what they say after the surgery and how bad or how quick the recovery can be.

For now, it's on Sizzle's shoulders to work hard, and for the next many up to fill in.

Not sure if offseason team sanctioned practices was considered

"Everything went good, he was in and out," Suggs told The Sun's Mike Preston of the surgery, which was performed in Charlotte, N.C. by noted foot/ankle specialist Dr. Robert Anderson. "There is only a small incision, and he said it was not as bad as some thought it was, which I had already been told."

Suggs tore his Achilles on April 28 during a workout near his offseason Arizona home. He said last week he was't sure how severe the tear was because he saw two different doctors and one said that it was a partial tear and the other diagnosed it as a full tear.

However, Suggs said this morning that he had a partial tear of the Achilles.

"As far as my return, it's still the same as the origininal prognosis of four to six months," said Suggs.

Just a partial tear.

Just a partial tear.

4-6 months? Four months is September!!!!!!!

Suggs is a tough dude. I'd be surprised if they don't PUP him for the first 6 games though. I'd love to see him back in September/October.

I think the best play is PUP Suggs and hope for him to be ready to go after the bye.

In the interim, we have Upshaw act as the 2003 Suggs; hand in the dirt, go get the QB. Let Kruger, Kindle and maybe McLellan do the dirty work, set the edge, play the run and blitz sometimes.

I'd like to see McPhee's time increase. Having him at DE on the early downs could be a huge asset to the pass rush.

Also, it will be interesting to see how Dean Pees is a D-coordinator. I've heard that he's aggressive but I guess we'll have to wait and see what happens.

Great article. Thanks for posting as I don't read Sports Illustrated and wouldn't have seen it.

I just saw this on the ESPN headlines.

The Ravens are standing by Suggs, they will not try to withhold payments, regardless of how his injury happened. Adam Schefter states that all the Ravens care about is that Suggs was trying to stay in shape, whether he was/is playing basketball and/or doing conditioning drills.

Other than that, I have no business being here.

Thanks for this update. I've been thinking for a while that the Ravens would not try to penalize Suggs for the injury. It just doesn't sound like the way they operate.

Must spread rep....

Is it just me or does it tick any one else off that the media is carrying on about how Sizzle hurt his Achilles. Now there is a 'witness' that he hurt it playing basketball.

Hensley is calling for Suggs to come clean in the AFC North blog. Let the man rehab in peace and stop trying to make a story out of nothing ESPN...

Or maybe it's just me, does it anger you guys that if you knew he hurt it balling, or does it make you feel any better of Suggs 'came clean' about it?

[Mashed Potatoes]

Is anyone here actually bothered that suggs played basketball in the offseason?

It's a great way to stay in shape and no more perilous than other sorts of athletic training in my opinion.

Yeah I don't get it whatsoever. These guys play racquetball, basketball and all kinds of other sports @ the facility in season.

I can't stand Henlsey. I've never liked him.

God help Suggs if the truth comes out that he likes to eat fried chicken and golf on his days off............
