Ravens' Cody sidelined after surgery
Football Betting Lines
08/31/2010 - Owings Mills, MD (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Baltimore Ravens rookie defensive tackle Terrence Cody underwent surgery last week to have torn meniscus in his knee repaired.
Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said Cody will likely be sidelined for two weeks and could be ready for the season opener against the New York Jets on September 13.
"He had a little bit of a tear in his lateral meniscus and had a loose body floating around," said Harbaugh. "We were trying to manage it and it was getting a little bit of swelling and we finally figured out what it was."
Cody, a second-round pick in the 2010 draft out of Alabama, had issues earlier this summer when he was unable to pass the team's conditioning test. He passed it on the second day of training camp.
The Ravens also placed linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo and running back Matt Lawrence on the physically unable to perform list to reach the 75-man roster limit. Both players are sidelined with leg injuries that cut short their 2009 seasons.
"They're just not ready yet," said Harbaugh. "Hopefully after six weeks, we'll be able to practice them and figure out if they can go at some point [during the season]."
Both will be sidelined for the first six weeks of the season, then can return to practice for the next three weeks before a determination on their roster status must be made.
