REPLY: Just last evening, HL Ed Camp had to leave the Balt-Pitt AFC Championship game with a partial tear to his Achilles tendon. Alternate Carl Johnson replaced him for the second half. Curiously enough, Camp was an alternate on last year's NYG-NE Super Bowl, but didn't see any field time.

Morelli scrambled to the opposite sideline to notify Johnson that Camp was apparently ill/injured after the Ravens touchdown. Immediately after the extra point, Camp gingerly walked off the field and Johnson replaced him. This crew on a very quick turn around without missing a blink. Johnson jumped right in and the game continued smoothly.
