I know there is no confirm yet But I am willing to go with Tanner here. Thanks for the info.

I'd be surprised to see him as OUT considering they've only got two true RBs on the roster (Rice, McGahee + Lorenzo Neal).

He practiced each day this week and there's nobody else behind the rookie. I'd bet dollars to doughnuts that he's active.

 

[pollardsvision]

john clayton on espn still reporting that willis looks to be active today, as of about 11am

 

[Burgendy]

Clayton on ESPN just said he'll likely start but not play much

 

[B-Deep]

probably should take the "out" out of the subject, as it is far from confirmed

 

[prosopis]

Clayton on ESPN just said he'll likely start but not play much

I saw this myself.

They still have LeRon McClain, and they tipped their hand during the preseason to the possibility of going with McClain at TB and Neal at FB. If McGahee plays very little or if he's inactive, then expect Rice to get most of the carries but McClain to get some work, too.

ESPN's John Clayton reports that Willis McGahee (knee) looked good in practice Saturday and will likely be active Sunday.There is next to no doubt that McGahee will be active because the Ravens have only two backs on their 53-man roster and need McGahee for at least backup duty, but he is unlikely to get a large chunk of carries. Do not play him.

My question is, why even play Willis if he isn't "going to play much". If he's in such bad shape that he can only play on a limited basis, why risk losing him for the whole season?Either he can play or he can't.

 

[Hash Mark]

All this leads me to believe no BAL RB is a good start today.

Maybe they want him to get into game shape, so they will play him sparingly just to give him some time on the field to help him along.

WBAL radio is reporting McGahee and Ed Reed will play today.

Didn't say how much yet. Still listening.

Have him get in there and take a couple hits and let him run. Pull him after a couple of series and then see how his knee reacts so you know if he really is healed going into next week. I expect him to start and get about 5 carries, maybe a catch and then they put in Rice. If everything goes well this week in practice and there is no swelling in the knee I expect him to start next week and get 75 % of the carries.They're using this week to see what they've got with McGahee and to see how the knee and McGahee react to actual playing time.GO FLACCO!

They are saying Ravens likely to ease McGahee in the line-up today due to lack of contact in pre-season. Rice likely to start.Sorry no link, just listening to radio on internet.Seems like they are suggesting the Willis is basically in a reserve role today.

this is just the kind of game where all the conventional wisdom ends up being flat out wrong and McGahee ends up running for 120 yards and a score.

 

[madd futher]

Per KFFL - active but may not start.

 

[Maven]

No adjustment for Ray Rice's projection .... FBGuys stil llike this matchup for him over someone like Selvin Young.

 

[Hipple Long Ware & Peete]

Frankly sending smokescreen to Clayton sounds like a Harbaugh like ploy. I bet Rice gets 70% carries.

 

[dmac37]

Sirius Radio reporter stated that Rice will start.

I think Rice will get the majority of carries and if they can keep the game close Rice should get plenty of looks with Cam calling the plays, especially with a rookie QB.
