Webb Makes Successful Return

Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb had waited a long time to make it back to the playing field, and that finally ended in Sunday’s 15-10 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals.

Webb joined the defense on the game’s first series in Baltimore’s nickel package.  Fabian Washington and Chris Carr started, but Carr moved inside to the slot with Webb out there.

Webb did not finish with any tackles, but the fact that he could make it through an entire game spoke volumes about his recovery from a torn anterior cruciate ligament suffered on Dec. 20, 2009.

“It was good to get back out with my teammates,” said Webb.  “It went well. It was a good day to come back, and I made it through the whole game.  I played a lot.

Webb said he didn’t care whether he started or not, although continued progress could and should see the former third-round draft pick with the first team soon.

“I’m happy with my playing time,” Webb added.  “I don’t care, one, two, three or 100 plays – I’m happy.

“It’s just keep working on the kinks in my knee.  I’m not perfect, but it felt good.  It was a big game for me to build my confidence.  Week after week, it keeps getting better. Today, it was good enough to play on.”

Webb was deactivated in Week 1 against the New York Jets, but practiced fully in the days leading up to the Bengals game.

The early review from Ravens Head Coach John Harbaugh was positive.

“From what I could see on the field, it looked like he was in pretty good position,” said Harbaugh.

Meanwhile, the only injury reported by the team was to linebacker Tavares Gooden, who suffered a shoulder injury covering a punt in the second quarter.

Gooden said he is scheduled for a magnetic resonance imaging exam on Monday.

“I’ll know more tomorrow, but I’m just hoping for the best,” Gooden said.  “Right now, I don’t know.”
