Suggs exits in fourth quarter with arm injury

Luke Jones

Suffering a surprising 23-20 defeat to the Pittsburgh Steelers to snap a 15-game home losing streak, the Ravens hope that’s the only significant loss suffered on Sunday after linebacker Terrell Suggs left the game in the fourth quarter. The five-time Pro Bowl selection left the field holding his right arm, signaling to the training staff immediately as he walked to the sideline. He was soon thereafter taken to the locker room for further examination, and the Ravens only confirmed he had left the game with an arm injury and didn’t return. “No immediate word on Terrell Suggs,” coach John Harbaugh said after the game. Suggs declined talking to reporters in the locker room, only declaring he would be “all right” before leaving. Opinions were mixed in the Baltimore locker room on the severity of the arm injury as a few expressed serious concern over Suggs’ status while others thought the linebacker would be fine. Should Suggs miss any extended amount of time, the Ravens would be forced to go back to some combination of Paul Kruger, Courtney Upshaw, and Albert McClellan at the outside linebacker positions. The Ravens can only hope for the best as Suggs is reexamined on Monday.

Ogden, Modell named semifinalists for Pro Football Hall of Fame consideration

Luke Jones

Former Baltimore Ravens offensive tackle Jonathan Ogden and late owner Art Modell were named among the 27 semifinalists in consideration for the Pro Football Hall of Fame Class of 2013 on Friday. The first ever draft pick of the Ravens in 1996, Ogden was taken with the fourth overall pick and played 12 seasons in Baltimore, earning trips to 11 Pro Bowls as he was regarded as the best left tackle in the league for a large portion of his career. Ogden was a key member of the Super Bowl XXXV championship team of the 2000 season. Modell was the longtime owner of the Cleveland Browns before moving his franchise to Baltimore in 1996 and maintained control of the Ravens as they raised the Vince Lombardi Trophy for the owner’s first Super Bowl title. Current Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti bought the team from Modell, purchasing a 49-percent stake in 2000 before acquiring the remaining majority stake in 2004. Despite being regarded as a pioneer in viewing television as having a prominent role in taking the NFL to unprecedented heights, Modell’s candidacy for the Hall of Fame has been thwarted on multiple occasions in the past because of the controversial move

Ngata, Reed, four other Ravens leading way in Pro Bowl voting

Luke Jones

Learning the 9-2 Ravens have six players leading their respective positions in voting for the Pro bowl is no surprise, but the list of names is a change from the past with linebackers Ray Lewis and Terrell Suggs missing large portions of the season with injuries. Free safety Ed Reed, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata, and fullback Vonta Leach each made the Pro Bowl last season for the Ravens and are once again leading their respective positions in the voting. Joining them are cornerback Cary Williams, strong safety Bernard Pollard, and kick returner Jacoby Jones when the latest voting totals were released on Wednesday. Often maligned by Ravens fans, Williams has played better as the season has progressed and is tied for the AFC lead with four interceptions. Pollard leads the team with 82 tackles this season with the perennial leader Lewis being sidelined for the last five games with a torn right triceps. Neither defensive back has been selected to the Pro Bowl in their respective careers. Jones appears to be the favorite in the AFC to go to Honolulu as a kick returner after being named AFC Special Teams Player of the Week twice this season. He has returned

Ravens to wear black jerseys against Pittsburgh on Sunday

Luke Jones

After passing on three prime-time opportunities earlier this season, the Ravens are finally breaking out their black jerseys against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. The team announced Tuesday they will their alternate tops for the first time this season as the Ravens own a 9-2 record all-time in their black jerseys. Their only two losses wearing the secondary look came against the Indianapolis Colts in 2005 and the New England Patriots in 2007. Given the Steelers’ primary color, it’s an interesting choice to see the Ravens wear their black jerseys against Pittsburgh, which is something they had never done in the history of the franchise. Of course, all bets might be off after the Steelers used their hideous bumblebee throwbacks two weeks ago. It has yet to be determined whether the Ravens will wear white or black pants to go with the alternate jerseys, according to a team official. Baltimore wore its black jerseys against the New York Jets and San Francisco 49ers in night games played at M&T Bank Stadium last season. The Ravens wore their black pants in a true “blackout” against New York but wore the white ones in the Thanksgiving game against the 49ers. Sunday will

Ravens safety C. Thompson placed on IR with knee injury

Luke Jones

A day before a crucial AFC North showdown with the Pittsburgh Steelers, the Ravens announced rookie safety Christian Thompson has been placed on season-ending injured reserve. Baltimore promoted safety Anthony Levine from the practice squad to take Thompson’s spot on the 53-man roster. Thompson, a fourth-round pick from South Carolina State in April’s draft, was active seven games this season but did not record a tackle as he served on special teams. He was added to the Ravens’ injury report on Thursday, meaning he may have suffered the knee injury during that practice. The rookie was a non-participant during Friday’s practice and had been listed as questionable for Sunday night’s game. Levine had spent the entire season on the Ravens’ practice squad after spending most of two years on Green Bay’s practice squad during the 2010 and 2011 seasons. The former Tennessee State product has yet to appear in an NFL game. Thompson’s injury is the third of the season-ending variety for the Baltimore secondary this year after losing safety Emanuel Cook to a broken leg in the preseason and top cornerback Lardarius Webb to an ACL injury in mid-October. Earlier this week, cornerback Jimmy Smith underwent sports hernia surgery,
