Ravens ILB Jameel McClain (neck/back) is unlikely to need surgery.

McClain's injury is "resolving itself." It's great news after he suffered a scary spinal cord contusion in Week 14 and was quickly ruled out for the season. The Ravens are counting on McClain to step in as a starting inside linebacker with Ray Lewis retired.

Ravens LB Jameel McClain's (spinal cord contusion) outlook to resume playing football in 2013 is "positive."

"All is progressing well with Jameel," one source told The Baltimore Sun. "The injury requires rest." At his end-of-the-season presser, coach John Harbaugh said the organization was "very optimistic" about McClain returning, and the linebacker appears to still be on that track. McClain proved to be an above-average pass rusher before going on injured reserve in Week 15.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh is "very optimistic" about ILB Jameel McClain's (spinal cord contusion) outlook.

"We're still looking at Jameel," Harbaugh said. "I'm very optimistic based on what GM Ozzie (Newsome) shared with us. We're very optimistic about that." McClain has insisted he'll be ready for OTAs and minicamp, and it sounds like his employer agrees. With Ray Lewis officially retired, McClain's health will be of great importance for the Ravens heading into 2013.

Jameel McClain (back, injured reserve) has still not been cleared for contact.

McClain was lost for the season when he sustained a spinal contusion in Week 14. He insists he'll be ready for OTAs and minicamp. "I'm good. I can tackle somebody right now if you ask me. But the doctors do what the doctors do and I just wait," he said. McClain would have been the Ravens' third inside linebacker behind Ray Lewis and Dannell Ellerbe if he were healthy.
