    Ravens offensive tackle Jared Gaither was not present at Friday's practice, which certainly diminishes his chances of playing Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. Gaither, who is dealing with a severe neck injury suffered in the second quarter of Sunday's 27-21 loss to the New England Patriots, did not practice Wednesday or Thursday. If Gaither can't go, than rookie Michael Oher would move from RT to LT with guard/tackle Marshal Yanda playing RT.

    No need to rush him back, we have a luxury of having 6 starting quality lineman

    And this is a surprise? He looked in pretty serious shape last game being hauled off on a stretcher. You sure don't rush someone back from a neck injury. I wish him well on his recovery, and glad it wasn't as serious as we all thought initially.
