Suggs Sneaks Past Harbaugh To Pass Conditioning Test
BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Baltimore Ravens Outside linebacker Terrell Suggs has been recovering from a torn Achilles and has historically hated taking Head Coach John Harbaugh's conditioning test, but over the weekend he passed it.
Suggs has not been in a game or on the practice field for almost a year, so this is a great sign for the veteran player. Before his injury, Suggs was one of the most vocal and playful members of the team before going quiet for over 318 days.
In this video, Harbaugh explained to former Ravens Head Coach Brian Billick, that he has been aiming to protect veterans from themselves by keeping them away from training camp. Suggs however didn't even bother asking Harbaugh if he could take the conditioning test. He just snuck around him and did it.

"Terrell Suggs, he's coming back from the Achilles, so on his own, unbeknownst to anybody, he grabs the conditioning coach and runs the conditioning test [Saturday] and passes it," Harbaugh said. "And we didn't even make him do it."
Suggs spoke to the media for the first time in a while last week, sounding motivated and ready to prove to doubters wrong. "I'm not going to give no timetable, but it's not going to be long. We're close to where we want to be," Suggs said last Wednesday, and just three days later he passed the test.
