Baltimore Ravens special-teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo is still facing a long road toward recovering fully from a torn quadriceps tendon suffered last season. The three-time Pro Bowl selection and reserve inside linebacker is still experiencing pain in his left leg, but is targeting training camp for his return. “I still have a lot of pain, an unusual amount of pain,†Ayanbadejo said during the Ravens’ minicamp. “With that being said, I still get better every week. I think they’re probably hoping I’d be further along than I am. I still expect to be ready by training camp in August, and that’s when they expected me to be ready.†Ayanbadejo’s durability has been impressive, appearing in 100 consecutive NFL games before the injury last season at Gillette Stadium. “I never missed a game in college, high school, nothing,†Ayanbadejo said. “Never missed a game in my career, so the first game I missed was last year and I don’t plan on missing anymore.†Source: National Football Post
