The Baltimore Ravens suffered a HUGE blow to their defense when it was announced that star linebacker Terrell Suggs has suffered a torn Achilles. According to reports, Suggs suffered the injury while playing a friendly game of basketball.
He was named the NFL’s Defensive Player of the Year last season.
Ravens LB Terrell Suggs is expected to undergo surgery on his torn Achilles next week. He is likely out for the 2012 season.

Ravens LB Terrell Suggs turns 30 in October. Fair to wonder, after a torn Achilles, if we'll ever see him produce at the same level again.
