Pitta, Ellerbe practice Wednesday-- Wed Jan 30 9:30 pm -- Ravens' starters on track to play Sunday
Two key starters nursing injuries for the AFC champion Baltimore Ravens, linebacker Dannell Ellerbe and tight end Dennis Pitta, ran and practiced well Wednesday afternoon at Tulane University as the Ravens opened on-field preparations for Sunday's Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers. It's unlikely that either player will miss the Super Bowl. Pitta has a thigh injury but moved freely during the workout. Ellerbe, who starts next to Ray Lewis in the Ravens' 3-4 alignment, ran without a limp. (NFL.com)
FF Today's Take:Pitta has been a key component of a Ravens offense that has amassed a total of 90 points in three playoff games this year. He has a pair of touchdowns and could be a key contributor again against the 49ers.
