Todd Heap

12/20/2005

Heap matched a career high with a team-best nine catches in Monday night's victory over the Green Bay Packers. The Ravens' tight end finished the contest with 110 yards and two touchdowns, while also becoming the franchise's leader in career receiving yards (2,841), surpassing the mark formerly held by wideout Qadry Ismail.

12/16/2005

Heap made it through Thursday's practice without any problems, and he's slated to be in the Ravens' starting lineup for Monday night's meeting with the Green Bay Packers. The tight end is listed as probable on the team's injury report this week, due to a sore toe. He has four or more catches in 11 of his 13 games this season.

12/2/2005

Despite nursing a sore foot, Heap has been on the practice field with the Ravens this week, and he will be in the starting lineup for Sunday's matchup with the Houston Texans, barring any last-minute setbacks. The tight end officially is listed as probable.

10/17/2005

Heap was the lone bright spot on the Ravens' struggling offense in Sunday's 16-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns, hauling in six passes for 79 yards -- both season highs. The tight end also found the end zone for the second consecutive week.

10/2/2005

Heap will be active for Sunday's game against the Jets. The Ravens' tight end had been listed as probable coming into the week with a sore toe.

9/15/2005

Still not quite fully recovered from offseason surgeries on his shoulder and ankle, Heap saw limited action in the Ravens' season opener against the Indianapolis Colts last weekend, but he should see his playing time continue to expand over the coming weeks. The tight end finished Sunday's game with four catches for 38 yards.

9/8/2005

Heap does not show up on this week's injury report, but that does not mean he is fully recovered from offseason surgeries on his shoulder and ankle. The tight end has been practicing with the Ravens over the last couple of weeks, and he plans to be in the starting lineup for Sunday's season opener against the Indianapolis Colts. However, he'll probably be limited to about 70 percent of the team's offensive plays, primarily as a precautionary measure.

9/1/2005

Heap began training camp on the physically unable to perform list, but he has been practicing with the Ravens since being activated last week. Barring any last-minute setbacks, the tight end plans to be in the starting lineup for Thursday's preseason finale against the Washington Redskins, and he expects to play at least the entire first quarter. Heap has been recovering from offseason surgeries on his shoulder and ankle.

8/23/2005

Heap has been activated from the physically unable to perform list by the Baltimore Ravens, and he will return to full-contact practice with the team this week. However, the Ravens plan to bring the tight end along slowly, as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder and ankle surgeries. Heap will not play in Friday's preseason meeting with the New Orleans Saints, but is expected to be ready for the start of the regular season.

7/27/2005

Offseason ankle and shoulder surgeries have landed Heap on the physically-unable-to-perform (PUP) list as the Ravens prepare to open training camp on Sunday. The move reportedly is precautionary, however, and the team hopes that its star tight end will return to camp by August 15, in time to participate in Baltimore's second preseason game. Heap signed a six-year, $30 million contract extension in mid-June, a deal that is believed to be the largest ever for a TE.

6/14/2005

Heap and the Ravens agreed to a six-year, $30 million contract extension on Tuesday that includes an $11 million signing bonus. The Pro Bowl tight end was limited to just six games last season due to a right ankle injury, and he also underwent shoulder surgery in the offseason. Prior to the injuries, he led Baltimore in receptions in both 2002 and 2003. Heap was entering the final year of the five-year pact he signed as a first-round draft choice in 2001.

5/13/2005

Although he is expected to be ready for the start of the 2005 regular season, Heap likely will be limited over the first couple weeks of training camp, as he continues to recover from offseason shoulder surgery. The tight end was limited to just six games in 2004, due to a nagging ankle injury.
