Ravens CB Rolle is unlikely to return

The Baltimore Ravens are not expecting that veteran cornerback Samari Rolle could be able to wear back his Ravens jersey to play professional football in NFL again after having a couple of neck surgeries. What we can expect now is an official announcement of the veteran’s retirement.

"There’s been no indication that I’ve heard from anybody that Samari is going to be physically ready to play," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "If that changes, great. We would have to be very convinced that he would have no risk.”

Having played in eleven seasons since being drafted by the Tennessee Oilers in 1998 as a second-round pick, Rolle is turning 34 years old this August. Just as he has admitted by himself, having two neck surgeries at his age just essentially means his NFL career is done.

Dolphins LB Taylor is not in hurry to return

According to reports by the South Florida Sun-Sentinel, the Miami Dolphins linebacker Jason Taylor will be out for at least three months after undergoing an arthroscopic shoulder surgery and it may take longer before he could wear back NFL jerseys to resume normal workouts.

35-year-old Taylor is scheduled to become an unrestricted free agent on March 5, but it doesn’t appear he’ll be signing anywhere soon. According to his agent, Gary Wichard, Taylor will be sidelined “three months or so,” putting his return sometime in May — the period in which most teams conduct organized team activities.

Although it is still uncertain whether Taylor could remain a Dolphins linebacker, he has said that he wants to return for his 14th NFL season in Miami. By so far the Dolphins team officials have not shown any intention of retaining Taylor.
