Safety Kim Herring appears close to returning to Baltimore's starting lineup. Herring practiced again Thursday, showing no ill effects of the high ankle sprain that caused him to miss the Ravens' last two playoff games.
Herring is listed as probable on the injury report.
Even with the game just a few days away, the Ravens remained as loose as they have been all week. What everyone has to realize is that we've been dealing with these distractions for a year. We're used to it. Every town we go into, it's the story. It's something we've dealt with, but now we're ready to play.
