    According to NFL Network Ben return to practice today although he was not at full go with the starting offense he was throwing the ball around and practicing planting his foot on his injured knee. Thank you Lord!!! Ben will be back for Ravens game:herewego!:

    This is good news. I hope he takes it slow and easy, though, so he doesn't have any setbacks.

    The only person who would rush his recovery is Ben himself because that's the way he is. I hope he doesn't do that, though.

    It's about pain tolerance, not risking re-injury. The damage was cut away, not repaired. This is a huge division game, I expect him to play. Will be disappointed if he does not.

    I think it's too early, ben said in his sideline interview sunday he was going to start rehab the next day, he said nothing about practice.........

    Based on what was reported that sounds about right. More than likely it's just gonna come down to like you said pain tolerance probably some swelling which is going to limit some of his mobility.
    And I'm sure they'll evaluate how those issues affect his mental status.

    Ben got to throw the ball away when the play breaks down. Wouldn't get hurt nearly as much.

    I would rather take a chance on Landry Jones to pull out the W than to rush Ben back against a hated rival. Especially when it comes to those aging knees.

    Ben's mentality is what drives his earlier than he should return attitude and we all have seen many time over how that has ended not being the best decision.

    Sit that game out Ben and let the others beat the Rats.

    If the docs say he's good to go and doesn't risk further injury by playing on the knee, that's all I need to know.
    Now if he's at risk for further injury because of the most recent injury, then sit him.
