Baltimore Ravens outside linebacker Terrell Suggs, who tore his left Achilles in the 2015 opener, was activated off the physically unable to perform list and participated in practice Monday for the first time since the season-ending injury.
The 33-year-old Suggs, a six-time Pro Bowl linebacker, had been rehabbing at the team’s practice facility and expressed optimism about his return.
Suggs, who also tore his right Achilles in 2012, has 106.5 career sacks. The 2011 NFL defensive player of the year has recorded double-digit sacks in his last four full seasons.
The Ravens still have four players on the PUP list: wide receivers Steve Smith Sr. and Breshad Perriman, linebacker Elvis Dumervil and running back Lorenzo Taliaferro.
