Elvis Dumervil: 'Ankle injury is getting better'

Baltimore Ravens defensive end Elvis Dumervil has revealed that he is making progress in his recovery from an ankle injury as he returned to his side's practice.

The 29-year-old sustained the injury in his side's win over the Pittsburgh Steelers two weeks ago and as a result missed their victory over the Minnesota Vikings.

"It's definitely gotten better," Dumervil told the Baltimore Sun. "The strength is getting there.

"Just working man, trying to continue to work on my conditioning and really strengthen that ankle to get me to a point when I can tolerate it."

The Ravens face the Detroit Lions in their week 15 clash on Monday.
