Heap questionable vs. Browns

Tight end Todd Heap's status is questionable for Sunday's game against Cleveland. Heap reportedly injured his ankle while stretching at home Friday night. You can't replace a player of his caliber even though the Ravens have a good backup in Dan Wilcox. Heap has been working well with quarterback Steve McNair, and had become a favorite target of McNair's inside the red zone. The Ravens also like to run out of the two tight end set, and both Heap and Wilcox were weapons as receivers. Rookie reserve tight end Quinn Sypniewski is a good blocker and has decent hands, but is unproven. He also can't get deep like either Heap or Wilcox, so he won't be much of a passing threat.
