When the Ravens opened training camp in July, outside linebacker Terrell Suggs met with the media for the first time since a torn Achilles limited him to just one game last season.
In the 11 months since that injury – the second time in four years that he had torn an Achilles – questioned swirled about whether the Ravens’ all-time sack leader would ever play again. And if he did return, would he be anywhere close to the dominant player he was before the latest injury?
“It’s a fair question,” Suggs admitted last summer.
He hesitated to make any bold predictions about his return and consistently maintained a wait-and-see approach.
