Influenza is more of a respiratory issue...the green apple splatters and barforama are intestinal viruses...not the same thing.

Ravens Update:

January 6, 2011
Ravens on the mend

The Ravens appear to be taking small steps towards getting healthier for Sunday’s AFC Wildcard game against the Kansas City Chiefs.

Free safety Ed Reed and center Matt Birk returned to practice Thursday after sitting out Wednesday’s session. Reed injured his ribs while returning his second interception in last Sunday’s 13-7 win against the Cincinnati Bengals, while Birk is dealing with a sore knee.

However, defensive tackle Haloti Ngata and outside linebacker Terrell Suggs were not present during the portion of practice open to the media. Ngata (thigh) and Suggs (knee) missed Wednesday’s session.

Linebackers Jameel McClain (back), Tavares Gooden (shoulder) and Dannell Ellerbe (head), cornerback Josh Wilson (head) and free safety Tom Zbikowski (bulging disk in back) were present. All five players were limited Wednesday.

Wide receivers Derrick Mason (ankle) and David Reed (torn ligament in left wrist) and left tackle Michael Oher (sprained right knee/ankle) also participated after practicing fully Wednesday.

Hmm..theyre pretty banged up it seems--or Im hoping...:thumb:

thnk u. I can talk like a 12 year old girl too.

"Jon Asamoah was working in Waters’ spot."

Id rather have seen Lilja moved to LG and have Asamoah start at RG, but this makes me a happy panda.

It will be interesting to see how he does against some premier talent in a game that that defense will surely be highly motivated.

Waters was seen at practice today.
Ngata and Suggs did not practice for the Ravens, Reed is limited.

So Ngata and Suggs have been out all week and are going to play?

Run right at Suggs.

I just saw on Sportscenter that Suggs is questionable with his ankle injury.

What is wrong with Ngata?

I didn't see where it said they missed today's (friday's) practice?

I hope you are right, though!

thigh injury

You know what, the date says Jan. 7 but it mentions Thursday's practice. The link on nfl.com reads:

Ravens S Reed returns to practice; Ngata, Suggs sit out

So I don't know. Either they sat out Friday or the article is very misleading.

I'm just thinking that since its still early in the day, that it probably is talking about Thursday.
