Baltimore Ravens defensive end Haloti Ngata is expected to play Sunday against the Cleveland Browns, but he won't have his normal amount of snaps, the Baltimore Sun reported.
Ngata hasn't practiced the last two days while nursing a shoulder injury.
The Ravens' defense might have lost its edge this season, but Ngata is on pace for career highs in tackles and sacks. With the loss of linebacker Ray Lewis and cornerback Ladarius Webb, the Ravens need all the help they can get -- especially on the defensive line against Browns running back Trent Richardson.
