Brendon Ayanbadejo unsure if he'll be activated during preseason

WESTMINSTER, Md. -- Baltimore Ravens Pro Bowl special-teams ace Brendon Ayanbadejo remains on the physically unable to perform list after tearing his quadriceps tendon last season, and he's unsure if that status will change heading into the regular season.

"It's tough to say," Ayanbadejo said. "If I can get back in the preseason, I'd love to. But it's not really up to me. I've just got to keep doing my rehab, and see how it goes."

Ayanbadejo had a plasma injection in his quadriceps recently to enrich the injured area with amino acids to accelerate tissue healing and growth. The procedure was administered in Arizona.

On Thursday, he's expected to be cleared to resume running.

"I feel fine, just getting the strength back in my leg is the main issue," Ayanbadejo said. "It's coming back slowly, very slowly, but at least it's coming back."
