Are any other players on the Ravens PUP list ready to return?

Linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo is currently on the physically unable to perform (PUP) list and will have the option of reuniting with his team next week or sitting out the rest of the season on the Injured Reserve list. In the season and four games he played with the Ravens he impressed every one with his speed, agility and sure tackling.


The 34 year old veteran is best known for his pro bowl worthy special teams play. Thrice he went to the pro bowl as a special teams gunner, twice while he was Chicago Bears and once as a Raven (2007, 2008, 2009).

Before the gruesome injury he suffered last year in the week four game in New England, he was transitioning into the playmaking linebacker the Ravens have desired to put next to Ray Lewis. While covering a kickoff Ayanbadejo had his legs pinned beneath another player on field tearing his left quadriceps. The next day he underwent season ending injury.

Reports that Ed Reed is feeling physically refreshed confirms the idea that he will be returning from his requried six week absence but Ayanbadejo's return is not nearly as certain.
