Report: Ziggy Ansah passed checkup, left Ravens without deal

Detroit Lions free agent pass rusher Ziggy Ansah, who visited with the New Orleans Saints back in March, received good news. Ansah underwent shoulder surgery in December after a season-ending injury, but Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported that everything is moving as expected for the talented pass rusher after his checkup with Dr. Neal Elattrache, a Los Angeles-based specialist.

Rapoport reported that medical testing proved Ansah’s shoulder is structurally-sound and mostly recovered from surgery; the challenge now will be regaining strength in the joint and restoring any lost muscle mass. That puts him on schedule to resume football activities in mid-August, right on time for training camp.
