Ravens practice notes:

Sep 17, 2009

The Ravens got a spot of good news as Terrell Suggs appeared to practice Thursday without any hesitation or reservation after sitting out Wednesday’s session with a chest injury. With Sunday’s contest against the San Diego Chargers looming, the three-time Pro Bowl linebacker has never missed a game in his seven-year career.

"He’s really 100 percent," DC Greg Mattison said prior to practice. "He’s just got a little soreness in his stomach, in his rib area. He’s fine."

Five-time Pro Bowl free safety Ed Reed (concussion), linebacker Tavares Gooden (sprained right knee) and tight end L.J. Smith (pulled left hamstring) also practiced.

"We definitely do," Mattison said when asked if he thought Reed and Gooden would play Sunday. "Obviously, that’s the trainer’s responsibility, but they have given us every bit of optimism."

Only safety Tom Zbikowski (concussion) did not practice.

“I will be playing on Sunday. Very excited, can’t pass up playing the Packers. I will be out there for sure.”

George Kittle says he’s good to go for Sunday

Related Players: Eric Saubert

Fantasy Impact:

Kittle returns to a great matchup against a Packers defense that ranks 26th in TE aFPA. He should be fired up as a high-end TE1 once again.

Bears RB D'Andre Swift misses Wednesday practice

Per Bears head coach Matt Eberflus: Ryan Bates remains in the concussion protocol. Elijah Hicks (ankle) and D'Andre Swift (groin) won't practice.

Teven Jenkins will be limited.

Related Players: Roschon Johnson, Travis Homer

Fantasy Impact:

This is definitely a situation to keep an eye on, as Johnson would have a huge workload if Swift were to miss Week 12. Homer has three rush attempts and zero targets on the year.
