Suggs has surgery for Achilles: 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 was named the 2011 Associated Press NFL Defensive Player of the Year after he had 70 tackles, including 14 sacks, and was a threat all over the field from his hybrid linebacker-end position. Rookie Courtney Upshaw might be asked to step up in his place while he's out. With no firm timetable on when Suggs will return, Fantasy owners shouldn't spend anything more than a late pick on him. Remember, drafting Suggs means keeping him on your bench for at least the first seven or eight weeks of the season. (Updated 05/09/2012).
