Despite returning to practice only Wednesday from a torn Achilles in April, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Terrell Suggs is targeting and expecting to play Sunday versus the Houston Texans, according to league sources.

Sources said that even Suggs' family and friends have plans to travel to Houston in anticipation of watching him stage one of the quickest returns from this type of significant injury by any athlete.

"Yes, that's still the plan," one source texted Thursday.

However, when asked whether he would play Sunday, Suggs said Thursday afternoon that there's no definitive plan in place for him to play.

A source told ESPN's Ed Werder that a final decision on Suggs' playing status won't be made until later this weekend.

"If it didn't come from coach (John) Harbaugh or myself, it's not a credible source. There's no plan in place, take it day by day," he said. "We'll decide Sunday what's best for the team. Right now, we're just feeling it out. Come Sunday, I may or may not be out there."

Baltimore still wants to make sure there are no setbacks this week, especially Thursday, when Suggs returns to the training facility after his first day of practice since last season. Plus, Suggs appears to have added weight during his layoff that he may try to shed in coming weeks, the source said.

The five-time Pro Bowler acknowledged Thursday that a quick return could push back his recovery.

"That's always a concern," Suggs said. "That's why I've got the people around me that I trust. We're going to make the decision as a group, whether it would be better for me to sit out or suit up."
