In his first public comments since not receiving any carries in last week’s 34-3 shellacking of the Cincinnati Bengals, Ravens running back Willis McGahee said he is not getting frustrated watching others get the ball.
Even though he was active for the game, Le’Ron McClain and Ray Rice split the rushing duties. That duo combined for 127 yards on 36 attempts, and McGahee is eager to join the action, perhaps this Sunday against the Washington Redskins.
“When my number is called, I’ll be ready and be out there,” McGahee said Wednesday. “But if not, Le’Ron and Ray are doing a great job. It’s not like the running game is really struggling. I don’t mind sitting back and watching.”
After fighting through knee, eye, ribs and ankle injuries all season, McGahee affirmed that he was well enough to have played.
“Even though I’ve been plagued with injuries all year long – this is the most injuries I’ve had in a year – it’s kind of rough,” McGahee explained. “Nobody’s really 100 percent on the football field. I can go out and play and do what I have to do, but they’re resting, so I can’t complain.”
The six-year veteran thinks an extra week off could turn out to be a benefit.
