Stover kicked for the Ravens for 13 seasons. After Baltimore decided against bringing Stover back for a 14th season, he was signed by the Indianapolis Colts in 2009 to replace an injured Adam Vinatieri and became the older player (42) to play in the Super Bowl. That proved to the final season of his 20-year career. Stover did not play last year. (AP Photo/Jose Luis Magana)

The day after another frustrating loss on the road, the Ravens got some good news.

The team announced that General Manager Ozzie Newsome was on his way back home after being taken to a Chicago hospital, and was “feeling fine.”

Newsome was taken by ambulance from Soldier Field yesterday, but apparently checked out well. The team said last night he wasn’t feeling well, and was advised not to fly home with the team.

“Ozzie is expected back in the Ravens’ office and on the treadmill soon,” the team said via Twitter.
