Terrell Suggs' Status in Doubt for Steelers, Suggs Disagrees

As the Steelers prepare to do the impossible against the Ravens -- beat them three times in the same season -- Baltimore is dealing with its own issues. Chief among them: getting healthy in time for Sunday's AFC Championship game.

I mentioned last Saturday that the Ravens came out of the Titans game pretty banged up, and not surprisingly, a lot of guys are trying to get healthy for Steelers, Round 3.

Although Pro Bowl linebacker Terrell Suggs has guaranteed he won't be sidelined for Sunday's AFC title game because of an injury that team officials termed a strained right shoulder, Baltimore Ravens coach John Harbaugh didn't sound nearly as optimistic about Suggs' status. ...

"I'm not going to sit here and say it's positive, or we're happy about it," Harbaugh said. "We'll just see how it goes. It's going to be close. He's going to work real hard to try to get back. That's all we know."

Suggs would be a huge loss for the Ravens, although defensive coordinator Rex Ryan has an unbelievable ability to just stick anybody out there without the defense losing any effectiveness.

In addition to Suggs, cornerback Samari Rolle has a groin injury and safety Jim Leonhard is recovering form a concussion. Tackle Willie Anderson and running back Le'Ron McClain were also injured in Tennessee, but it looks as if both players will be ready to go against the Steelers.

And as for Suggs, well, it's simple, really: "Check my track record, I don't miss games ... The only way I wouldn't be there is if I didn't have air in my lungs. I'm playing. It's nothing. What did I tell y'all? I don't even feel it now."

So there you go.

As much of a Steelers fanatic that I am, I have to respect the Ravens, especially the defense. As far as Suggs not playing, in a game of this magnitude, Suggs will dress and play. He may not play long, but he will play. The only way he won't is if he wakes up dead.

He isn't any funnier looking than that guy running around the field for Pittsburgh, with fluffy hair coming out of the back of his helmet hanging down to his butt......

I don't know Cliff. That dude looks like half bat and half scarecrow. He's one ugly but funny looking thing. It's almost humerous but sad cause his mom had an ugly duckling. I feel sorry that she had to drag him around. His gums almost cover his whole grill. I know his childhood had to suck. Poor fellow.

Is that all you got on him is that he looks funny or ugly, not one of you said how much of a fierce competitor he is on the field. No one goes to the Pro Bowl more than once on their looks. The only one who should worry about his looks is Roethlisbergerwhen he puts him on his ass.
