Baltimore Sun writer, Jamieson Hensley, wrote in his July 20the article entitled, "Training Camp Breakdown: What to Watch"............

•Backup tight end: Daniel Wilcox vs. a cast of unknowns. This is more of a concern than a battle. Wilcox was limited this off season after having toe surgery. With Quinn Sypniewski out for the season with a knee injury, the Ravens need Wilcox to come back healthy or they will be hurting. The Ravens could wait until teams make their final cuts before addressing their No.3 tight end.

Of course, since then the Raven's meal ticket stationed at the end of the offensive line, TE Todd Heaps has been sidelined with calf muscle problems. Another hopeful, Aaron Walker continues to sit with a bad knee. So where does that leave Lehigh's Adam Bergen? On the bubble or a sure bet to make the team? After last night's performance, one can only hope - barring an injury - he'll be in the huddle or at least on the Raven sideline when the Bengels come to town to kick of the 2008 season on Sunday, Sept. 7th.

How did he do last night, you ask? Well.....

> he caught 6 passes (team high) for 35 yards

> he was the only TE to touch the ball

> he was on the receiving end of passes from each of the Raven QB hopefuls: Boller, Smith and Flacco


Keep it up, Adam!

TEs Todd Heaps and Daniel Wilcox returned to the practice field this morning. It would seem as if Bergen - despite his good showing in the two preseason games - might have his work cut out should he expect to make the team.

Here's a quick look at Daniel Wilcox, the guy Adam will probably have to beat-out should he wish to land the # 2 TE job. Of course, there's always a chance (perhaps likely, in light of the past injuries to Heaps and Wilcox) that the Ravens will enter regular season play with three TEs.

Daniel Wilcox
Height: 6'1"
Weight: 250
Years Pro: 6 (Jets, Bucs, and Ravens - 2004 Free Agent)
College: Appalachian State (wide receiver)
Games Played/Started: (2001, 1/0): (2003, 2/0); (2004, 16/5); (2005, 13/3); (2006, 14/6); (2007, 5/2) Total 51/16
Career Receptions/Yards/TDs: 71/551/6


Mike Duffy, Content Writer for baltimoreravens.com is quoted today as saying, "Wilcox took his first rep of 2008 after off-season surgery on a left toe injury. The tight end had been working diligently towards his return, as the Ravens have plugged in several subs for him and Heap during camp. “It’s not fun sitting out and watching a lot of guys rotate in and out of your position, not knowing whether or not you’ll get the opportunity to get your job back and earn that respect back. I’ve been a free agent from Day 1, and even when I signed my first contract, I always had that free-agent mindset. I go in every day and continue to play every day like it’s my last.”
