Baltimore Ravens' Ray Rice: "I could be out there Sunday"

Baltimore Ravens running back Ray Rice has claimed that he could return to action this weekend.

Rice missed his side's win over the Houston Texans with a hip injury but has made strides in his recovery this week and could be fit to face the Buffalo Bills at Ralph Wilson Stadium.

"The week went as expected," Rice told The Baltimore Sun. "It did feel good, barring no setbacks I could be out there Sunday."

The Ravens are 2-1 going into week four of the season.
