ORLANDO, Fla. -- The Baltimore Ravens don't expect veteran cornerback Samari Rolle to play football again.

Rolle has undergone a couple of neck surgeries and has said he is extremely unlikely to continue to play, but hasn't officially retired.

"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.”

Earlier this year, Rolle indicated that he was essentially hanging up his cleats, barring some kind of medical breakthrough.

"I've had two neck surgeries," Rolle said. "And at my age, unless they show me something scientifically that says I can't hurt myself again, then I'm done."
