Ravens NT Haloti Ngata (knee) is listed as questionable for Week 11.

Ngata suffered a knee injury early in last week's win over the Bengals, but managed to stay in the game. He was able to practice on a limited basis Friday and is now on track to play Sunday against the Bears.

Ravens NT Haloti Ngata exited Sunday's Week 10 game against the Bengals with a left knee injury.

Ngata headed to the locker room at the end of the first quarter following an 18-yard Giovani Bernard run. The Ravens are classifying it as a "sprained knee."

Ravens NT Haloti Ngata was cleared medically for the start of training camp.

Ngata is fully recovered from his Super Bowl knee injury, and back in shape after reporting to OTAs a bit heavier than the Ravens wanted. "Yeah, Haloti came in in great shape," coach John Harbaugh confirmed. "He's looking great. He blew away the conditioning test. He's ready to go." Still only 29 years old, Ngata is poised to play primarily nose tackle for the first time in his career.

Ravens NT Haloti Ngata is a candidate to open training camp on the PUP list.

Ngata was a non-participant in OTAs and minicamp and is still recovering from his Super Bowl knee injury. He resumed a running program last month but shouldn't be sidelined for long, if at all, during training camp.

Ravens NT Haloti Ngata is "still recovering" from his Super Bowl knee injury.

He's expected to be limited in this week's minicamp. Ngata reportedly suffered "just" a left MCL sprain, but he's been doing little in OTAs. It's not a concern for Week 1, but Ngata could be eased into training camp. The Ravens want Ngata to be more diligent about his weight after he reported "heavier than normal" last summer.

Haloti Ngata stated on NFL Network's Total Access that he "definitely" plans to play more nose tackle in 2013.

Different from past years, the Ravens can now field a deep rotation of ends with free-agent pickups Chris Canty and Marcus Spears rotating with Arthur Jones and Pernell McPhee. "It's gonna keep me inside, just having those guys there," Ngata said. "It's gonna be great to have me be comfortable on the inside of the defense, where I love playing." With improved depth at five technique, Ngata as a full-time nose, and Elvis Dumervil bookending Terrell Suggs at rush linebacker, Baltimore's front seven will be significantly better than it was in 2012.

Ravens coach John Harbaugh indicated that Haloti Ngata will play more true nose tackle moving forward.

"The fact that we've added two guys that can play defensive end definitely marks the possibility he could play inside more," said Harbaugh. "Our bellcow in there is Haloti." Ngata has generally played 3-4 end in Baltimore, with Kelly Gregg, Terrence Cody, and most recently Ma'ake Kemoeatu on the nose. The Ravens can now surround him with a rotation of Chris Canty, Arthur Jones, Pernell McPhee, and Marcus Spears, freeing up 6-foot-4, 330-poound Ngata to wreak havoc on the NFL's significantly more undersized centers.

The Ravens want to "address a weight issue" with DT Haloti Ngata.

Ngata reported to minicamp last offseason "heavier than normal," but nothing much was made of it. Now that he's approaching 30 years old, the Ravens are going to keep an eye on Ngata. We wouldn't expect it to be much of an issue, though.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata's MRI revealed only damage to his left MCL.

It just confirmed Ngata's MCL sprain, an injury through which he played for most of the season. No surgery is necessary, and NFL Network's Albert Breer reports Ngata will be "fine." Still only 29 years old, Ngata finished the 2012 season with 51 tackles and five sacks. He should have several strong years left.

Coach John Harbaugh said the left knee injury Haloti Ngata sustained in the Super Bowl is nothing serious.

Ngata has avoided a ligament tear. In fact, Harbaugh says that the his dominant run-stuffing defensive tackle will be ready for the entire offseason program. When the MRI results are announced, expect a mere aggravation of Ngata's sprained MCL to be revealed.

Haloti Ngata (knee) is scheduled for a Thursday MRI.

The Baltimore Sun believes the Ravens may have "dodged a bullet" with DT Haloti Ngata (knee).

Ngata won't undergo an MRI until Tuesday, but is not on crutches, and is "moving alright." Nothing can be ruled out until Ngata receives his MRI results, but the early indications are that he's avoided a major ligament tear.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata says his left knee is "feeling better" on Monday morning.

Ngata was seen walking through the team hotel on Monday morning without the aid of crutches or assistance of any kind, so it's an encouraging sign. But we really won't know the extent of the injury until the Ravens get back to Baltimore and Ngata undergoes further testing. The injury was initially classified as a "sprain."

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata exited Super Bowl XLVII with a third-quarter injury to his left knee and was listed as doubtful to return.

The Ravens initially described it as a "sprain," but in-game injury disclosures typically mean little or nothing. The fact that Ngata was immediately deemed "doubtful" to come back in suggests team doctors fear a significant injury. Ngata had two tackles against the 49ers before exiting. Ngata was an impact run defender this postseason with 13 tackles (10 solo) in just over 3 1/2 games.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (shoulder, knee) had five tackles and a sack in Sunday night's win over the Steelers.

Ngata was held without a tackle in Week 9 and was rested in Week 10. In Week 11, he finally looked like his old self while terrorizing the interior of the Steelers' line. "Yeah, I felt good, stronger," Ngata said afterward. "A lot better."

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (shoulder, knee) was active but didn't play a single snap in Sunday's Week 10 blowout of the Raiders.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (shoulder, knee) rode an exercise bike for all of Sunday's Week 10 game against the Raiders.

Ngata was active and in uniform, but Baltimore's blowout win over Oakland allowed him to rest his nagging injuries. Look for Ngata to return as an every-down player when the Ravens take on the division-rival Steelers in Week 11.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (shoulder, sprained MCL) returned to practice Friday and is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Raiders.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata admits he hasn't been the same player since injuring his right shoulder and spraining his right MCL in Week 6.

"Now, it's limiting me," Ngata said. "I just can't do what I want to do most of the time." Ngata doesn't believe the injuries will require surgery, but the falloff in his play will hurt the Ravens run defense every bit as much as the loss of Ray Lewis.

Ravens DT Haloti Ngata (knee) is active for Sunday's game against the Browns.
