NFL News
The Ravens newly acquired cornerback Josh Wilson has passed his physical, completing the trade from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a fifth-round draft pick. The Ravens placed rookie fullback Mike McLaughlin on injured reserve. Wilson joins a rag tag secondary, with Ed Reed (hip) out, and Domonique Foxworth out for the season with a torn anterior cruciate ligament. In Friday's meeting with NFL commissioner Roger Goodell, Ben Roethlisberger's representatives plan to ask the commissioner to reduce the six-game suspension by at least three games. Goodell pledged to consider reducing the length of the suspension if Roethlisberger complied with a number of league-imposed conditions, including a comprehensive behavioral evaluation, and stayed clear of any other off-field problems. Most observers believe Goodell has had in his mind all along to reduce the suspension by two games to four.
