Houston, TX (Sports Network) - Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is
active for Sunday's game against the Houston Texans.
The Ravens activated Suggs from the physically unable to perform list on
Saturday.
Suggs returned to practice only this week after recovering from a torn
Achilles. He suffered the injury in late April and underwent surgery in early
May.
Last year's NFL Defensive Player of the Year was unsure during the week if he
would play Sunday.
Suggs' return is great news for the Ravens, who have had numerous injuries to
their stellar defense. Middle linebacker Ray Lewis is expected to be
sidelined until at least late December because of a torn triceps, while
cornerback Lardarius Webb was placed on season-ending injured reserve
earlier this week because of a torn ACL.
Suggs had a banner 2011 season for the Ravens, posting 14 sacks with 70
tackles, seven forced fumbles and a pair of interceptions.
