Ravens tight end Todd Heap is considered "doubtful" for Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, coach Brian Billick said after today's practice.

Heap, who has missed six of the past eight games with a hamstring injury, was limited in practice Wednesday and Thursday. But today, he joined cornerback Chris McAlister, receiver Demetrius Williams and defensive tackle Justin Bannan as the Ravens who weren't present at the start of practice.

So exactly when is Heap going to play again this year? By now I say just shut him down. IR him and let's get on with things.

McAlister is also a game-time decision once again.

Injuries have decimated this team this year.

Time to gut this season out and get healthy by the time training camp rolls around.

Brian Billick said on Sirius this morning that he will most likely miss the rest of the season. If he is saying that...bank on it, he is out the rest of the season

Injuries seem to be hitting alot of teams hard. I have never seen two starting QB's go down in a first half before,like on Thursday night with Grossman and Campbell. There are alot of street guys being picked up,that's how bad it is getting.

Heap needs to be put on IR, what is the point of him coming back for probably just the final game if that?Get a body in here on the roster to checkout.

I have pulled my Hammy several times. Never took that long to recover. Then again, I never played in the NFL.

Just IR him already and stop the ferris wheel.

I personally think some of that is attributed to playing on Thursday night.
Those two wewren't the only ones in that game that went down.

There were several IIRC that had to come outr due to various problems.

I think they should bag the Thursday night games myself.

Not enough time after sunday games to physically get ready to play on that short of rest.

It is a serious risk of players' health to push them that way, much less do it during the latter stages of the season.

Not to mention the majority of the nation can't even see the freakin' games!!

If they're going to do it, they need to schedule those games around the teams that have just had buys the week before giving them plenty of time to recover after the game and prepare the week before.
