August 19, 2016 Posted by Matt Pencek Featured Sports, National Sports

The 2015 Ravens highlight film should have been titled “The Year of the Achilles.” Quarterback Joe Flacco missed the final six games with that injury. Wide Receiver Steve Smith missed the final nine. The biggest loss on defense to an Achilles injury, linebacker Terrell Suggs who went down in the season opener.

Flacco has been practicing since the first day of this year’s training camp. Earlier this week, Suggs and Smith were activated to the roster.

“Now we’re starting to get our swag back and our chemistry,” Suggs said. “Everything is starting to feel good and we’re starting to feel like the Ravens again.”
