Terrell Suggs Says Ravens LB Courtney Upshaw Is 'Ahead Of Where I Was' As Rookie

[SteveRobWhatever]

Terrell Suggs is months away from taking the field for the Baltimore Ravens. How many months, we don't know, but until he returns, his replacement will continue to receive attention. Rookie Courtney Upshaw has impressed coaches this offseason and looms as a "plug-and-play" option at outside linebacker until Suggs returns from his partially torn Achilles' tendon. Suggs has tracked Upshaw's progress in practice and offered encouraging words this week. "From what I've seen on film, he's playing pretty good," Suggs told Comscast SportsNet Baltimore on Thursday. "He's ahead of where I was when I came in my rookie year." Practice film revealed that Upshaw was "playing a little bit of everything," according to Suggs.
