The Baltimore Sun reports Ravens starting RB Ray Rice passed his conditioning run Tuesday morning, and said he anticipates no problems heading into the start of training camp. Rice, entering his fourth season, had minor surgery on his knee to remove a small piece of cartilage that was floating around. The surgery occurred shortly before the 133-day lockout began, which is why it wasn't made public. According to Rice, he elected to walk out of surgery instead of being pushed in a wheel chair, and the next morning appeared at a function which highlighted being physically fit to a bunch of school-age kids. The Ravens, though, still might limit Rice's work in training camp as a precautionary measure. But Rice says there isn't any concern. Known as one of the team's hardest workers in the weight room, Rice looks fit and recently participated in the voluntary passing camp at Towson. He passed the conditioning test with no problems or even the slightest hesitation. "The morning following the surgery I was speaking to kids and telling them about getting exercise and they were jumping and running all around," Rice said laughing. "I made sure they didn't hit me, but I wouldn't have gone out there if I had a limp or was hobbling. How would that have looked? "After the surgery, I had to rest the knee for two to three weeks which is part of the normal process. There was no pain, no swelling. Since then, I've participated in my usual workouts and most people know that I'm a hard worker. I haven't missed one workout. As for training camp, the Ravens have a plan. They are going to see how I feel and phase me in. They know they have to be smart with me, and I have to be smart as well. But everything feels great."
