Unfortunately, the Ravens have been in this position before.
Terrell Suggs also tore his Achilles heel (his other one) in 2012, right around the time of the NFL draft. Suggs was coming off a year in which he was named the NFL’s Most Valuable Defensive Player.
Then, everyone wondered how the Ravens would make it without their talented leader, who ended up missing the first eight games.
That same year, the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII.
Of course, it would be a far stretch to say Suggs’ most recent Achilles tear, suffered Sunday evening in Denver, will have the same effect.
