Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs has torn his Achilles and his 2012 season now is in jeopardy, a source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday. Suggs, however, said via text message, the injury is a partial tear and that he is aiming to return to the field by midseason.

Suggs was working out and doing drills in Arizona, which is his normal offseason plan. It's a huge blow for the pass-rush hungry Ravens, who will be without the reigning NFL Defensive Player of the Year.

Suggs told me that a previous ESPN report stating the injury occurred while he was playing basketball is "false."

Suggs was maintaining his usual offseason workout routine in Arizona, his home. "We have a conditioning test, and I was practicing for it," Suggs said via text.

He said he felt the injury during a "stop-and-go" exercise. He will visit a specialist on Tuesday.

Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs remains optimistic that he will play at some point during the 2012 season after tearing his right Achilles tendon in April.

Speaking on ESPN's "NFL Live," the reigning Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year wouldn't pinpoint when he'll return to the field but would say fans should expect to see him out there at some point.

"Just be optimistic that you all will see me playing this year," Suggs said.

The five-time Pro Bowler is pleased with his progress since suffering the injury.

"It's going great," Suggs said. "I'm in good spirits, and I like the progress that I'm making. I came out of the boot last week, so I'm just walking right now and doing muscle strength."
