Following up on a
previous item. ... Pierce believes he will be ready for the team's July training camp after undergoing shoulder surgery in January. "Definitely by training camp," Pierce said Saturday night. "I think I'm right on schedule, honestly. I'm getting better, man. I'm doing rehab every day. I'm just grinding it out."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Pierce dealt with shoulder, hamstring, toe and knee injuries in 2013. He had an awful second season after showing promise as a rookie. Pierce combined with Ray Rice for the 30th-ranked rushing offense last year. The second-year runner had 436 yards on 152 carries, a dreadful 2.9 average yards per rush. A revamped offensive line and new OC Gary Kubiak's runner-friendly offense should immediately help the Ravens rushing attack, but the Ravens need a healthy Pierce in 2014 with Ray Rice's
status uncertain in the wake of an aggravated assault indictment. If Rice is held out any amount of time the load will fall on Pierce and his surgically repaired shoulder.
