Ravens' Stanley Nears Return After Toe Injury

Coach Jesse Minter confirmed that Stanley, an 11-year veteran, is expected to be much closer to returning this week. "I do think Ronnie is closer to returning," Minter stated. "I think it was a good opportunity to allow this to be something that he might not have to deal with just over and over again." saltysenoritaaz.org

Stanley, who has missed only one game over the past two seasons, was ruled out on Friday after initially being expected to be a game-time decision. Carson Vinson started in his place and "played really well" according to Minter.
