Ravens' Ogden to retire
OWINGS MILLS, Md. — Jonathan Ogden will announce his retirement Thursday, ending a stellar career with the Baltimore Ravens in which the left offensive tackle garnered 11 Pro Bowl invitations and a Super Bowl ring.
Ogden, who turns 34 next month, told friends he will not return for a 13th season. He has been bothered by a hyperextended toe since December 2006.
Ogden arrived at the team's training complex Wednesday to confirm his decision and solidify plans for a news conference this morning.
"I'm all right. I'm good with it," Ogden said of his retirement before meeting with team officials.
● Plaxico Burress said he is not going to practice with the Giants until the Super Bowl champions give him a new contract.
Burress reported to the Giants' mandatory minicamp Wednesday but refused to work out because he was not happy with the way contract negotiations are progressing.
