Ravens backup running back Bernard Pierce is expected to have surgery to fix damage to his rotator cuff, an NFL source told the Baltimore Sun. The surgery would take place this month, enabling Pierce to be ready for the 2014 season.
Pierce averaged 2.9 yards per carry in 2013 as he dealt with multiple injuries, though he did catch 20 passes. He averaged 4.9 yards per carry as a rookie in 2012.
