A couple of notes from what Ravens DE Calais Campbell told reporters on Tuesday …
🏈Campbell described the Colts’ Jonathan Taylor as "probably the most explosive back in the league.”
Campbell: “There are a couple other guys — like Christian McCaffrey, there are a bunch of guys that are explosive like that. But he is definitely, I would say, arguably No. 1.”
🏈Campbell, who is now 40, hasn’t discussed a snap count for Sunday but it will likely be left up to him and how he’s feeling.
"I am going to be pretty honest. I do not want to suck out there,” Campbell said. "I am not going to try to play every play in a row and then [be] sucking wind for the rest of the game. I am kind of experienced at being old.”
