Kelly Gregg done for season?

Ravens nose tackle Kelly Gregg is scheduled to have micro-fracture surgery on his left knee, according to the Web site nationalfootballpost.com.

The story was posted by a person named Jack Bechta, which is the name of Gregg's agent.

Phone calls to Bechta and a Ravens spokesman were not returned to The Baltimore Sun.

Gregg's surgery will be performed by De. James Andrews, the Web site reported.

Gregg had arthroscopic surgery on his knee in August and has missed the entire preseason as well as the first four games of the regular season. The Ravens announced that Gregg had an issue with cartilage in his knee three weeks ago and would be out indefinitely.

Gregg has been the Ravens' starting nose tackle since the 2002 season. He has been replaced by Justin Bannan.

With the way Justin Bannan has performed at nose tackle when he truly is not a nose tackle but a 4-3 tackle who attacks gaps he has done a great job against the run. The team is not asking much of him in terms of pass rushing because we have to of the best interior pass rushers in Pryce and Ngata so Bannan is finally performing for this team at a high level in which they expected him to perform. The bigger concern now is getting healthy in the secondary and whether that means going out maybe and getting someone to fill in or getting guys like Frank "First Cut" Walker or Derrick "Never Plays" Martin to show up and play for us once in a while.
