Suggs has Achilles surgery: Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs had surgery repair a torn Achilles tendon Tuesday and is expected to make a full recovery. The Ravens didn't indicate whether Suggs will be able to play this fall, or if it was a full tear or partial tear (Suggs indicated previously that it was a partial tear). The Ravens are expected to line up second-round pick Courtney Upshaw at Suggs' rush linebacker spot and have Paul Kruger take over at strongside linebacker, Jarret Johnson's former position. "Terrell had a successful surgical procedure done on his Achilles tendon this afternoon by Dr. Bob Anderson," general manager Ozzie Newsome said in a statement. "After some recovery time, Sizzle' will begin the process of rehabbing the area. We know he will work hard to get back on the field with his teammates as soon as the doctors and trainers allow. We're confident that he can make a full recovery." (Updated 05/09/2012)

Fantasy Analysis
Suggs is a threat all over the field from his hybrid linebacker-end position and is considered the best defensive player on the Ravens. If he can play at any point this season it would help the Ravens immensely. With Suggs out the Ravens DST is more like a middle- to low-end No. 1 option in Fantasy. It would be a bonus if he could come back by November or December. This DST is worth a late-round pick. (Updated 05/09/2012).
