When he played last year, personnel-wise we weren't as good as we are now.
We're going to have to wait that out, ... But if I had to guess right now, I think it would make it tough for him to make it back for Monday night. We'll just have to work our way through that situation and see what's the best way of handling that.
We're going to have to work our way through that, ... It's going to be a big topic of discussion. We've got Chris here with a short work week, so we've got to do a real good job of evaluating that.

You've got somebody that has already played up here and been successful.
The only way I know to get involved in things is to dive into it,
The only way we are going to make the playoffs is by beating Philly. There is not a single person in this building who believes we can get in any other way.
The Ravens gave us some fronts that gave us trouble,
