OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Terrell Suggs is convinced he still has a few more sacks left in him, even though hes 33 years old and coming off a torn left Achilles tendon.Suggs was carted off the field in the 2015 season opener and still hasnt quite fully recovered. He has been placed on the Physically Unable to Perform list and wont be in uniform Thursday when the Baltimore Ravens hold their first full-team training camp practice.He cant wait to get back, but the man known as T-Sizzle knows it would be foolish to take any chances in July.Im not going to give no timetable, but its not going to be long. Were close to where we want to be, Suggs said Wednesday. Ill be honest with you: The Ravens side of me is like, `Sizz, lets go. Lets play some football. But Ive got to smart with it.Once hes ready to roll, the six-time Pro Bowl linebacker is optimistic of being a key contributor to a perennial playoff contender that stumbled to a 5-11 finish last season.Were going to find out, Suggs said. I love football. I love the locker room. I love my teammates. I love out here being confrontational. I love talking (stuff). Thats just part of being Sizzle. I think once I kind of get back to being him, I think yall questions will be answered.Before his injury, Suggs was one of the most vocal and playful members of the team. He rarely shied from any microphone, and almost always spiced up interviews with jokes or tongue-in-cheek barbs directed toward the upcoming opponent.But he hadnt talked to the media since his injury -- not even once. So his appearance at the teams training complex served as an update over the past 11 months.When that injury happens, its like three months laying on your back, Suggs said. We didnt start too good. It was just a really bad time. I didnt want it to be about me that I was gone. It was kind of like, `Just let the smoke clear and let everything happen.His teammates cant wait to see him -- and hear him -- on the practice field.Its always good to have his personality around the building and what he brings to this whole place, quarterback Joe Flacco said.I think he gives the young guys a lot of direction and they look up to him. Theyve been watching him play for a long time now. Its been fun having him in the training room for the last five weeks and having him around and hearing his voice all throughout the facility.Suggs was the 2011 NFL Defensive Player of the Year after getting a career-high 14 sacks, two interceptions and seven forced fumbles. The following year, he tore his right Achilles tendon during the offseason, but played the final eight games of the regular season and helped Baltimore win the Super Bowl.With the exception of last season, Suggs has been a key contributor to a team thats built a reputation for playing tough, physical defense. The 13-year veteran is the Ravens career sack leader with 106 1/2, and his 823 tackles rank second behind Ray Lewis in franchise history.Hes not done yet. Retirement might be the furthest thing on Suggs mind.Its not something I want to visit end of this year, end of next year, he said. Maybe the year after that, we can talk about it. What, will I be 36 then? But Im not worried about that right now.Suggs intends to savor this season and, in the process, prove hes still one of the best in the NFL at chasing down opposing quarterbacks.Youve got to always appreciate this. You never know when its really going to be gone, he said. The simple fact that I had the opportunity to rehab, come back and listen to my naysayers, thats a privilege. Every dark cloud has a silver lining, so I guess thats kind of mine. People say he cant do it again. I guess were going to find out.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Vans Old Skool Tienda Online .ca looks back at the stories and moments that made the year memorable.

CLEMSON, S.C. -- James Conners smile said it all -- Pittsburgh was happy to once again shuffle up the national championship picture.Hey, sorry to do that. But we wanted this one bad, said Conner, who had two touchdowns and ran for 132 yards in the Panthers 43-42 stunner over No. 2 Clemson on Saturday.Conners 20-yard TD run with 5:17 left inched the Panthers into striking range and Chris Blewitt -- after a kiss on the cheek from coach Pat Narduzzi -- struck a perfect, 48-yard field goal with six seconds left for the winning points.Well remember this one forever, Conner said.So, too, will Clemson (9-1, 6-1 Atlantic Coast Conference, No. 3 AP) which saw its run at perfection halted after escaping so many other jams this season. A fourth-down stop a yard shy saved the Tigers 42-36 win over Louisville on Oct. 1. North Carolina States missed field goal at the end of regulation boosted Clemson to a 24-17 overtime win.This time, it was the Panthers (6-4, 3-3) who made the critical plays.When Clemson was driving for a touchdown already up 42-34, linebacker Saleem Brightwell picked off quarterback Deshaun Watson -- his third interception -- and returned it 70 yards to set up a 20-yard TD by Conner that drew Pitt within 42-40.When Clemson attempted to run out the clock, the Panthers defense (despite allowing 630 yards) stuffed Wayne Gallman a yard short on third and fourth downs to take over near midfield with 58 seconds left.We had a chance to put the game away and they stopped us, Clemson coach Dabo Swinney said. We had been making those kinds of plays this year.Nathan Peterman moved Pitt to the Clemson 30 and Blewitt steadily knocked through.It was Pitts highest-ranked win since defeating Backyard Brawl rival, No. 2 West Virginia, 13-9 in 2007 and spoiling the Mountaineers chances at playing for the national title.Our team had a lot of guts tonight, Narduzzi said.And a whole lot of playmakers to topple the defending ACC champs.Peterman had a career-best five TD passes and 308 yards. Conner rushed for 132 yards and a touchdown. He also caught one of Petermans scoring throws.Blewitt, who had a kick blocked at the end of the opening half, was steely eyed and ready. Narduzzi gave his senior a kiss on the cheek and sent him out for the winning kick.As soon as I saw the kick go up, I knew it was going in, Scott Orndoff said. It was jubilation.Clemson had its offense going.dddddddddddd Watson threw for an ACC record 580 yards and three touchdowns. Gallman ran for three TDs and Mike Williams had 15 catches for 202 yards and a touchdown.In the end, it was Clemsons first loss to an unranked opponent in five seasons, a span of 46 games.Come Monday, well start over because its a long season, Watson said. Get ready for Wake Forest. Hopefully, we can clinch the ACC (Atlantic) and punch our ticket for the championship game next week.THE TAKEAWAYPittsburgh: The Panthers showed that Narduzzis program is taking hold. Peterman stayed calm in the face of Clemsons strong pass rush and Conner was able to avoid the Tigers middle duo of Carlos Watkins and Dexter Lawrence to keep Pitt moving.Clemson: Many non-Tiger fans will say this team had it coming after escaping with close wins at home against No. 5 Louisville (42-36 on Oct. 1) and North Carolina State (24-17 in overtime on Oct. 15) after the Wolfpack missed the potential game-winning kick to end regulation. Clemsons path is still clear -- win out and hope its one-loss season is better than most others.POLL IMPLICATIONSExpect a rankings fall for Clemson, certainly from the top five. And theres not that much time left to make up for a loss. After Wake Forest, the Tigers face revived rival South Carolina at Death Valley before potentially heading to Orlando, Florida, for the ACC championship game.RECORD DAYWatsons passing yards broke the 21-year-old mark of Wake Forests Rusty LaRue, who passed for 545 yards against North Carolina State on Nov. 18, 1995. Watson said the record doesnt console him after the loss. Id rather go 0-for-30 with no yards and get the W, he said.SAYING GOODBYEThis wasnt the farewell Clemsons offense wanted. Watson, Gallman, Williams and receiver Artavis Scott are all juniors who were honored with Clemsons seniors Saturday after Swinney said they would all be leaving the program for the NFL after this season. Watson acknowledged wild emotions. Still, Im going to keep a smile on my face, he said.UP NEXTPittsburgh closes the year with two games at home, starting with Duke next week.Clemson will try to earn the ACC Atlantic Division title with a win at Wake Forest next Saturday.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
