 Todd Heap - TENov. 20 - 1:45 pm et
Todd Heap (ribs) will be a game-time decision Sunday against the Colts.
The Colts defend tight ends very well, so Heap won't be much of a fantasy option even if he plays. He's only the No. 17 overall TE in fantasy anyhow.

 Todd Heap - TENov. 20 - 9:10 am et
Offensive coordinator Cam Cameron does not believe Todd Heap (ribs) is in danger of missing this week's game after sitting out practice Wednesday and Thursday.
"That's not a concern to my knowledge," Cameron said of Heap missing this week's game. L.J. Smith is preparing to start, but Heap will likely try to return to practice on Friday.

 Paul Kruger - DLNov. 19 - 8:10 pm et
Ravens rookie Paul Kruger will make his first NFL start Sunday in place of OLB/DE Terrell Suggs.
Kruger has seen time in just two games this season, recording one tackle and a pass deflection. Kruger is still learning to play outside linebacker, and he's nowhere near the pass rusher that Suggs is.

 Todd Heap - TENov. 19 - 3:00 pm et
Todd Heap (ribs) missed practice again Thursday.
Heap watched practice in sweatpants and a baseball cap for the second straight day, but the Ravens have not expressed concern about his availability for this week. He's no better than a TE2 against the Colts if he does play.

 Terrell Suggs - DLNov. 19 - 2:50 pm et
Terrell Suggs (knee) said Thursday that "there's no doubt" he will play again this season.
Suggs is hoping to return for next week's game against the Steelers, but he doesn't sound optimistic about it. "Hopefully, I can miraculously heal and try to get back to play [against Pittsburgh]," said Suggs. The latest report has Suggs missing at least 2-3 weeks.

 Todd Heap - TENov. 18 - 5:02 pm et
Todd Heap (ribs) did not participate in Ravens practice Wednesday.
Heap was dressed for the workout and watched from the sideline. Beat writer Jamison Hensley cautions to "not jump to add LJ Smith to your fantasy team just yet." We'd recommend against doing so even if Heap was on I.R.

 Kevin Gerard - DBNov. 18 - 2:04 pm et
Ravens signed CB K.J. Gerard off their practice squad.
Gerard set the Northern Arizona school record for interceptions with 19 before going undrafted in April. The 23-year-old will focus mainly on special teams.

 Joe Flacco - QBNov. 18 - 12:51 pm et
Ravens beat reporter Mike Preston believes that Joe Flacco has "regressed" over the last couple of weeks.
Preston says Flacco only seems comfortable in the no-huddle offense, which requires fewer quick reads and less thinking on his feet. Flacco has just one touchdown and two interceptions in his last three games, and hasn't thrown for more than 200 yards since Week 6. Consider Flacco only a QB2 over the next three weeks with difficult matchups vs. IND, vs. PIT, and @ GB.

 Terrell Suggs - DLNov. 18 - 11:44 am et
Terrell Suggs (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Colts, as expected.
It's still unclear exactly how long Suggs will be out after taking a cheap shot from Brady Quinn Monday night. Beat writer Aaron Wilson expects Suggs to miss at least 2-3 weeks, which is a huge blow to the Ravens defense. Suggs is valuable in both pass rush and outside run defense.

 Haruki Nakamura - DBNov. 18 - 11:40 am et
Ravens placed SS/ST Haruki Nakamura (ankle) on injured reserve, ending his season.
Nakamura broke his right ankle against the Browns on Monday night. He was primarily a special teams player, but the Ravens had talked about getting him snaps at safety with Dawan Landry struggling. Barring any complications, Nakamura should be back with the Ravens next season.

 Billy Cundiff - KNov. 18 - 11:08 am et
Ravens signed K Billy Cundiff.
Cundiff takes over for Steve Hauschka, who was dumped after struggling all season. The Ravens offense has sputtered lately and Hauschka ranked just 25th in the league in field goal attempts. You can do better for your fantasy kicker.

 Todd Heap - TENov. 18 - 9:00 am et
Todd Heap (chest, ribs) is a "question mark" for Sunday's game against the Colts.
Heap was hurt during the Ravens' win over the Browns on Monday night. If he can't go, L.J. Smith is actually healthy right now and will step in. You shouldn't be waiting on this decision for your fantasy team.

 Terrell Suggs - DLNov. 17 - 10:22 pm et
Ravens beat writer Aaron Wilson reports that Terrell Suggs (knee) will miss "at least" the next 2-3 weeks.
Suggs' agent, Gary Wichard, speculated earlier in the day that Suggs' injury could be season ending. Wilson says Suggs only has a "minor" tear of his MCL, but this still isn't necessarily easy to recover from. Suggs has started slow but still commands double teams, so Baltimore's fantasy defense should be downgraded. Little used rookie Paul Kruger's snaps will increase.

 Terrell Suggs - DLNov. 17 - 8:31 pm et
According to agent Gary Wichard, Ravens OLB/DE Terrell Suggs' Week 10 knee injury may cost him the rest of 2009.
Wichard is fuming about the injury, which happened on what he's calling a "cheap shot" by Brady Quinn. "Brady launched himself into a defenseless player," he said. "You're a quarterback, dude. You can't tackle, so don't take a shot at his knee. This guy, Brady, is on the cover of Muscle & Fitness, so take him on like you’re supposed to take him on. It was an illegal play."

 Mike Nugent - KNov. 17 - 7:58 pm et
According to Ravens beat writer Aaron Wilson, free agent Mike Nugent appears unlikely to be Baltimore's next kicker.
Nugent, 27, has a big leg and is a former second-round pick, but he's never been good. The Ohio State alum was 2-of-6 on field goal tries with Tampa earlier this year. Other options include Billy Cundiff and Martin Gramatica.

 Steven Hauschka - KNov. 17 - 3:20 pm et
Ravens waived K Steven Hauschka.
Hauschka went into Monday's game on thin ice. A missed 36-yard field goal and a blocked extra point sealed his fate. The team gambled in a big way this offseason, electing to turn the page on the only kicker in franchise history, Matt Stover. With Stover now kicking for the Colts, look for Baltimore to dial up journeyman free agents Mike Nugent and Billy Cundiff.

 Brady Quinn - QBNov. 17 - 2:04 pm et
Ravens players are furious with Brady Quinn after his questionable chop block injured Terrell Suggs in Monday night's game.
"Heck yeah it was a cheap shot," Ray Lewis said of the hit. "I want to see if he gets the same fine I got or even higher. Now this man is out four or five weeks because of some baloney like that."

 Todd Heap - TENov. 17 - 8:47 am et
Todd Heap bruised his ribs during Monday night's win over the Browns and will undergo tests Tuesday.
Heap took a big shot over the middle early in the game and also injured his ribs late in the game. It's a miracle that Heap has been healthy for this long. He's a TE2 with zero upside even if he plays against the Colts next week.

 Tavares Gooden - LBNov. 17 - 8:42 am et
Ravens ILB Tavares Gooden suffered another concussion during Monday night's win over the Browns.
This was Gooden's second concussion of the year, with the first one also coming against the Browns in Week 3. Expect rookie Dannell Ellerbe to pick up the majority of snaps in place of Gooden.

 Terrell Suggs - DLNov. 17 - 8:36 am et
Terrell Suggs could miss several weeks after spraining his knee in Monday night's win over the Browns.
A Tuesday MRI will determine the exact extent. The Ravens will argue that the low open-field block Brady Quinn put on Suggs was a cheap shot. Of course, it was nice to see that at least someone was blocking for the Browns. A big disappointment after signing a $62.5M extension, Suggs has 42 tackles and just 3.5 sacks through nine games while appearing out of shape on the field.
