Rolle out for Monday's game
In addition to defensive tackle Kelly Gregg (left knee) and strong safety Dawan Landry (spinal cord concussion), the Ravens ruled out cornerback Samari Rolle (right shoulder) and quarterback Troy Smith (tonsil infection).
Rolle confirmed to The Baltimore Sun's Mike Preston yesterday that he might not play against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Monday night. Rolle did not practice today. The prognosis on cornerback Fabian Washington (bulging disc in neck) seems better as he practiced fully for the third consecutive day and is listed as probable.
Despite sounding non-committal about his availability for Monday's contest, running back Willis McGahee (lacerated right eyelid) practiced fully today and is probable. Fullback Le'Ron McClain, who sat out yesterday's practice with a migraine, also practiced and is probable.
Right offensive tackle Adam Terry made a sudden appearance on the team’s injury report, as an ankle injury limited him in practice. Terry, wide receiver/return specialist Yamon Figurs (hamstring) and linebacker Nick Greisen (quad) are listed as questionable.
Linebacker Ray Lewis (foot), tight end Daniel Wilcox (shoulder) and rookie linebacker Tavares Gooden (hip) are probable.

Well I was kind of concerned when I saw him get hurt at the end of the game. Hopefully, Washington can come in and step up because our back ups were just HORRIBLE last year on Monday Night. Washington better play because I'm not so keen on Ivy or Walker as the starter.

i hope they give Willis McGahee one of those clear plastic shields to prevent fingers poked in his eyes again.

Mcgahee was wearing a visor when they played the browns

I really wouldn't be at all surprised to see Nakamura and Zbikowski play in our nickle and dime situations. They have both seen time so far on passing downs, and with Rolle out, I would like to see the two youngsters on the field a bit more. Zib has looked great blitzing from the safety spot and Nakamura has a knack for being aroud the ball. I wouldn't be shocked to see one of them come up with a great play at some point Monday night.

This will probably be a way the older vets make it through the season-2 games in,1 or 2 games off (recup time).Hines Ward will look to knock somebody else out of commission during the game.

If Nakamura plays is there a league rule against him wearing the long haired black wig he had at practice the other day? It would be hilarious.

Where is Derrick Martin, we need him if Samari is out and Fabian is "probable" I don't trust Frank Walker or Corey Ivy on Hines Ward or Santonio Holmes for a second. I would rather even have Nakamura and Zbikowski covering them.

Troy Smith is really losing a great opportunity to prove his worth. We never find out if he could play and these tonsils could cost him millions.

Sally Rolle needs to retire.

Rolle had shoulder surgery and is out for 6 weeks? That's the unsubstantiated rumor goin around town.
