Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs entered the NFL a year before Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, so he’s had a close view of his AFC North opponent for a long time now.
Suggs has seen Roethlisberger deal with a variety of injuries over that period of time and the way those injuries have spurred many a week spent waiting to see if Roethlisberger would be in the lineup, which has left him with a pretty strong feeling about how things are going to play out heading into this weekend’s matchup between the teams.
“Don’t fall for that. You gotta understand, I saw this movie before,” Suggs said at his press conference. “He’s gonna act like ‘Aw, I’m not playing, I don’t know, I did individual work a little bit.’ But then he’ll walk his big ass on out there and it’ll be ‘How you doin’ Benjamin.’ And then it’s on.”
Suggs has an injury concern of his own after tearing his biceps in Week Six, but returned to practice during the bye week and practiced again on Wednesday.
