NFL Injury Report: Mystery Illness Sidelines Rolle, Again

The reoccurrence of an undisclosed illness that already has forced cornerback Samari Rolle to miss four games this season will sideline the Baltimore Ravens' standout 10-year veteran again this week.
Baltimore officials already have ruled Rolle out of Sunday's home game against Cincinnati and there remains no definitive timetable for his return.
The Ravens and Rolle have steadfastly declined to discuss the illness in any detail and, after Monday night's loss in Pittsburgh, a game in which Rolle did not play, teammates and club officials avoided all attempts to discuss the illness. While the condition is not believed to be life-threatening, it did hospitalize Rolle for a brief period earlier in the season.
Also earlier in the year, the Ravens said Rolle would miss playing time because of a reaction to the medication he was taking for the condition.
Currently, Bodog has the Ravens listed as 4.5-point favorites at home against the Bengals for this weekend.
