Terrell Suggs Out For Year With Torn Achilles (Injured While Playing Basketball)

All, NFL Jason Lisk May 3rd. 2012, 10:02am

As first reported on 105.7 The Fan in Baltimore, Terrell Suggs has suffered a torn Achilles tendon while playing basketball in the offseason in Arizona. Suggs, who won the AP Defensive Player of the Year last season, will turn 30 years old.

He had a career high 14 sacks in 2011, and has 82.5 for his career. He had played in 141 of a possible 144 regular season games since he was a Ravens’ first round pick in 2003.

He is famous for introducing the world to Ball So Hard University, but apparently followed that motto a little too seriously this offseason, and now the Ravens have a major hole to fill.

Ouch. You can come back from an ACL easier than an achilles if I’m not mistaken.

This is why Lee Evans had to catch that ball. Ravens won the division last year, had the bye, an easy schedule, and were healthy. Now they have a brutal schedule and will have to navigate it without the best defensive player in the league. Mother. Fucker.

Yep, achilles in 9 months minimum. And ACL is 6.

The Ravens could very well still have the #1 defense in the NFL (their football outsiders ranking had them at least 20% higher than the next team, IIRC) but still be severely impacted by this, maybe 2 wins or so.

OT…re: rees lol
HERE WE GO TOMMY REES JOKES
-He ran 99 yards to hit someone, and then mysteriously punched someone else at the 100th yard.
-In booking his file was incomplete.
-The fight started during a late-night bakery run when a friend pointed to the turnovers and said, “Hey, Tommy–”
-A friend playing guitar asked him for a pick, because he’s usually got a few on him.
-Became enraged at Dunkin’ Donuts when asked to choose half a dozen and told to “pick six.”
-Attempted to run, but was brought down by a policeman and a one-star MAC linebacker with a torn meniscus in his right knee.
-Still in line for two Heismans by Beano Cook’s count.
-Reminded of low number of conversions in important matchup against heathen Native Americans by goading priests.
