Terrell Suggs has said he won’t miss Sunday’s AFC championship game, but Ravens coach John Harbaugh today tempered the optimism on his pass-rushing linebacker’s injured right shoulder.

At his weekly news conference, Harbaugh said Suggs had a magnetic resonance imaging exam and suggested Suggs’ availability against the Pittsburgh Steelers would “be close.”

“I’m not going to sit here and say it’s positive, or we’re happy about it,” Harbaugh said. “We’ll just see how it goes. It’s going to be close. He’s going to work real hard to try to get back. That’s all we know.”

Suggs sprained the shoulder when he tackled Tennessee Titans quarterback Kerry Collins from behind late in the first half Saturday. He was listed as questionable to return, but never got on the field in the second half of a 13-10 win.
