| TEN - Bernard Pollard agrees - |
The Tennessee Titans agreed with free-agent SS Bernard Pollard (Ravens) on a one-year deal.

| BAL - Bernard Pollard broke ribs again - |
Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard (ribs) played all but one play in Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers with six broken ribs. He broke six ribs during the course of the season, and re-broke them on the second play of the game.
| BAL - Bernard Pollard injury update - |
Updating a previous report, Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard (ribs) said he played a majority of the season with six cracked ribs. Pollard first suffered the injury in the second game of the season, and missed the final three games of the regular season. 'It's tough dealing with pain,' said Pollard, who led the Ravens with 98 tackles as well as recording two sacks and a forced fumble. 'For us as football players, we know we're going to go through it. At the same time, that's the name of the game. Six of them, yep. Hey, it's up to us to go out there and play and we did.'
| BAL - Bernard Pollard played with injury - |
Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard (ribs) said he played the Super Bowl with six cracked ribs.
| BAL - Bernard Pollard may cover Vernon Davis - |
Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard could be assigned the task of covering San Francisco 49ers TE Vernon Davis in Super Bowl XLVII. Physically, Pollard may be the best option for the Ravens to handle Davis' size and overall ability.
Footballguys view: This is the best move for the Ravens. Davis has a freakish size/speed combination and is difficult for most Safeties to cover. Pollard is physical enough to hang with Davis near the line of scrimmage but lacks the speed to cover him downfield.
| - Will fans grow tired of the product? - |
Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard believes the NFL could cease to exist in 30 years due to the league's emphasis on player safety. Pollard feels fans will get fed up watching more flags thrown for violent hits. 'Thirty years from now, I don't think it will be in existence,' Pollard said. 'I could be wrong. It's just my opinion, but I think with the direction things are going - where they (NFL rules makers) want to lighten up, and they're throwing flags and everything else - there's going to come a point where fans are going to get fed up with it.' Pollard is also afraid a player may die during a game. 'The league is trying to move in the right direction (with player safety), but, at the same time, (coaches) want bigger, stronger and faster year in and year out,' Pollard said. 'And that means you're going to keep getting big hits and concussions and blown-out knees. The only thing I'm waiting for ... and, Lord, I hope it doesn't happen ... is a guy dying on the field. We've had everything else happen there except for a death. We understand what we signed up for, and it sucks.'

'If you want to keep this going in the right direction, everyone should be penalized for their actions,' Pollard said. "[He] knew what he was doing. It has to go both ways. Hopefully the NFL will do something about it. If they don't, that's fine. If they do, then that's fine."

| BAL - 15 probable - |
Baltimore Ravens RB Anthony Allen (head), WR Anquan Boldin (shoulder), CB Chykie Brown (shoulder), DT Terrence Cody (ankle), G Gino Gradkowski (head), DT Arthur Jones (thigh, knee), LB Ray Lewis (triceps), LB Albert McClellan (shoulder), DE Pernell McPhee (thigh), DT Haloti Ngata (knee), S Bernard Pollard (chest), S Ed Reed (shoulder), CB Jimmy Smith (abdominal), LB Terrell Suggs (Achilles', bicep) and G Marshal Yanda (shoulder) all fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 18, and are probable for the AFC Championship game.

'He was in good spirits. He had a big smile on his face. He had a nice big lunch. He seemed like he was happy. I think his son slept the whole night last night, so he was happy.'
Footballguys view: Pierce showed well this season as the team's primary backup behind Ray Rice. We love his stock in dynasty leagues and feel that he could be a strong spot starter if called upon.
| BAL - 11 players listed as probable - |
Baltimore Ravens WR Tandon Doss (ankle), OG Marshal Yanda (shoulder), DE Pernell McPhee (thigh), DT Haloti Ngata (knee), LB Adrian Hamilton (illness), LB Ray Lewis (triceps), LB Albert McClellan (shoulder), LB Terrell Suggs (Achilles, biceps), CB Jimmy Smith (abdomen), FS Ed Reed (shoulder) and SS Bernard Pollard (chest) fully participated in practice Friday, Jan. 11, and are listed as probable for the Divisional Round playoff game.

| BAL - Week 17 Inactives - |
The Baltimore Ravens have declared WR Anquan Boldin, SS Bernard Pollard, DL Haloti Ngata, OG Marshal Yanda, LB Ray Lewis, WR Tandon Doss, LB Terrell Suggs inactive for Week 17.
Footballguys view: Ray Rice is active, but will only play a few series at most. Bernard Pierce is worth a flex play today.

| BAL - Week 16 Inactives - |
The Baltimore Ravens have declared LB Albert McClellan, SS Bernard Pollard, OG Bobbie Williams, DL Bryan Hall, WR Deonte Thompson, OT Ramon Harewood, WR Tandon Doss inactive for Week 16.
Footballguys view: Torrey Smith is active and playing, but he is ice cold and not a good option in fantasy championships today.
| BAL - Bernard Pollard doubtful - |
Baltimore Ravens S Bernard Pollard (chest) did not participate in practice Friday, Dec. 21, and is doubtful for Week 16.
Footballguys view: The Ravens might get Ray Lewis back, but Pollard's absence in the secondary will hurt their run defense, and in general lower the intimidation factor of the defense.

| BAL - Week 15 Inactives - |
The Baltimore Ravens have declared SS Bernard Pollard, FS Christian Thompson, LB Dannell Ellerbe, TE Ed Dickson, LB Jameel McClain, OG Marshal Yanda, OT Ramon Harewood inactive for Week 15.
Footballguys view: The Ravens are missing their first, second, and third string inside linebackers, and their starting strong safety. Knowshon Moreno should find room to run between the tackles today.
| BAL - Eight questionable - |
Baltimore Ravens LB Terrell Suggs (biceps), LB Dannell Ellerbe (ankle), DT Arthur Jones (shoulder), FB Vonta Leach (ankle), DE Pernell McPhee (thigh), S Bernard Pollard (chest), CB Jimmy Smith (abdomen) and G Marshal Yanda (ankle) are questionable for Week 15.

| BAL - Want to be physical with Robert Griffin - |
Baltimore Ravens SS Bernard Pollard said the key to stopping Washington Redskins QB Robert Griffin III in Week 14 is to be physical with him. 'We have to be a disciplined defense,' Pollard said. 'We've got to hit him every chance we get.'
Footballguys view: That's the recipe for every team that has faced Griffin so far and it hasn't worked that well. Griffin is doing a better job now of getting rid of the ball quicker and showing he doesn't have it after an option pitch than he did earlier in the year.
| BAL - Four fully practice - |
Baltimore Ravens CB Chykie Brown (ankle), FB Vonta Leach (ankle), DE Pernell McPhee (thigh) and S Bernard Pollard (chest) all fully participated in practice Thursday, Dec. 5.

| BAL - Bernard Pollard speaks out on fines - |
Baltimore Ravens S Bernard Pollard said Wednesday, Nov. 21, that he believes the NFL gives out 'bogus' fines, as he was responding to the punishment to FS Ed Reed. 'They took away the suspension, but they took away $50,000 from him for something that was not intentional,' Pollard said. 'He's not a headhunter, that's not what Ed is. As players we ask where's the money going? They're always taking away money from players for bogus stuff.'
