Billick Hopeful McAlister Plays Sunday

The Baltimore Ravens’ secondary, without the services of cornerback Samari Rolle this week (undisclosed illness), can only hope that CB Chris McAlister will be available to them when they are at home Sunday against the Cleveland Browns.  McAlister did not practice on Friday, yet Ravens head coach Brian Billick has expressed optimism that McAlister could [...]
