That really sucks. Where did this come from? I'm a bit uncultured in the internet age, but "anonomous" wrote this. Is there any chance this is b.s? At least Wilcox and the mighty Quinn can fill in.

it say's anonymous but it is written by aaron wilson

[Aaron Wilson]

Tony posted this for me. This information is reliable. It was disseminated by the Ravens' PR department, so it's legitimate. We'll see how he feels tomorrow in Cleveland.

[Ravensarge]

Thanks guys!!

[TL24x7]

Sorry for the confusion...in our drop down menu on the site's content manager, I selected the wrong item. Usually the breaking news will come from Aaron or the Ravens PR staff. In my haste to inform you, I slipped with the drop down.:insane:

Let's hope Todd is ok in the AM.

Let's hope Todd is ok in the AM.
Lets hope, he is on my fantasy team. All my pass catchers seem dinged up this week.

[ExiledRaven]

yeah, no kidding...this would really kill me...no Ladanian, no Heap, no TO.

But I'm more concerned about the Ravens, though I think it won't make THAT big a difference in the game. Quin and Wilcox can fill in fine and it might get Williams and Clayton some balls in the passing game...which is something I'd love to see.

I posted this same thing at YBR, but I've stretched my ankles out this one time, and really messed one of them up. I still don't know what I did, but it was two days before I was at full strength. I don't think what Heap did has anything to do with his previous ankle injury, and he should be fine for Sunday.

[F Angelos]

Hey Todd, Fred Lynn called he wants his body back.

[Merlin]

Wonder if we'll see Sypniewski out there or only Wilcox if Todd can't play . . .

[Mista T]

Quin and Wilcox can fill in fine


There is a huge drop-off between Heap and Wilcox. McNair used to be very effective when he had Wychek at the receiving end, then lfell back after Wychek retired.



and it might get Williams and Clayton some balls in the passing game

These guys haven't been open much all season, and, if Heap cannot play, the Brownie DBs may be able to smother them. Of course, the Browns DBs are full of question marks themselves.

Hopefully, Jamal can have a big day to take the pressure off the passing game.

:mrt:

[The Fanatic]

Maybe I'm in the minority here, but I just assume sit Heap down tommorrow and let him rest what ever the hell he's done to himself.

As beat up as the Browns are, I'd like to think we can afford to go against them with one less piece of equipment then the norm and still win if not kick their ass.

If we can't, then I'd have to say we're more of pretenders rather then contenders at this point.

One freakin' guy missing against a team in the shape they're in should not make a huge difference in the game outcome.

In the scope of the whole picture, we need Heap for much more stronger teams such as San Diego the following week.

Got the feeling we're gonna be running the ball until the cows come home tommorrow anyway.

[F Angelos]

Channel 2 says Heap's a gametime decision.

[RavenFanatic2k6]

We can win this game soundly with or without Heap. If he's injured in the slightest sit him. Wilcox is no Heap but he is no slouch either.

[Ravenatic20]

I'd be surprised if Heap played tomorrow. Just play it safe, rest him, and have him ready to go next week, vs SD.

[camdenyard]

ankle injury incurred while stretching at home.

Huh??

[Brandon]

Just found this out.

I say sit him out this game and let him rehab the ankle. Plus, Wilcox is my fantasy TE this week since Gonzalez has a bye. :laugh:

I am kind of curious how he hurt his ankle stretching though?

[BUDDAROW]

Put me the "better safe, sit him" camp
The bigger test is the Chargers and the stains should be a walk

[StingerNLG]

I agree. Since they're going to pull a couple of lucky Cleveland fans out of the stands today to play in the secondary for the Browns today, there is no sense in risking yet another ankle injury that could keep Heap out more than he has to be. Let Quinn get some PT and see how he does.

[purplepoe]

Ugh.

Cmon Todd.

If the ankle was just tweaked a bit, then sack up and play. I agree that if it's something more serious that we should sit him but Im getting a bit tired of always seeing Heap on the injury report.

[flraven]

I agree with those who'd rather sit Heap today than risk injury and not have him for San Diego. The Ravens will probably run, run and run some more against the Clowns. McNair does have other targets he can throw to.
