Dumervil Aiming for Training Camp Return
Wednesday, June 15
"I feel a lot better, and I'm excited to feel healthy again," said Dumervil of his status, per the Ravens' official Twitter account.
Zrebiec added the 32-year-old "expects to be ready at some point in training camp."
For the most part, Dumervil has been a pillar of consistency in terms of health—his 2010 season aside. A torn pectoral cost him all of that season, but he has appeared in 138 out of a possible 144 games since the Denver Broncos drafted him in 2006.
Dumervil's sack totals fell precipitously in 2015. He tied a career high with 17 in 2014 but finished with six a year ago, which were still the most on the team. Terrell Suggs' season-ending Achilles injury allowed opposing teams to key in on Dumervil, which blunted his effectiveness.
The timing of Dumervil's foot surgery should allow him plenty of time to recover before the Ravens kick off the regular season on Sept. 11 against the Buffalo Bills.
Health will be a big factor for the Ravens in 2016. If they're losing players left and right like last year, their postseason hopes will evaporate. If their key stars can avoid the injury bug, Baltimore has a great chance to make it out of a wide-open AFC North.
