Tony Romo taking snaps. Joe Flacco hurling passes. Jordy Nelson and Keenan Allen catching them.Terrell Suggs and Cam Wake harassing opposing quarterbacks. Ryan Clady trying to prevent such things.Jamaal Charles running wild.It sure would be nice to see these stars on the field and not on injured reserve, where they wound up in 2015.As NFL teams head to training camp, nearly all of them have key players they desperately need to return to health. Heres a look at those most in need.BALTIMORE -- No team had its season ruined more by injuries than the Ravens. Along with Flacco and Suggs, they lost half-dozen regulars, including playmakers Steve Smith Sr. and Justin Forsett.Flacco, the 2013 Super Bowl MVP, played in 122 straight games, fifth-longest string for a quarterback in NFL history, before tearing his left ACL and MCL in November. He believes he is on pace to start the preseason.I wanted to be the guy who played 15, 16, 17 years and didnt miss a snap, Flacco said. I had to come to grips with it pretty quickly because it was my reality. That was the toughest part, not being able to be on the field with the guys for the last six games.Suggs wasnt on the field for almost the entire 2015 schedule. The six-time Pro Bowl linebacker tore his Achilles tendon in the opener at Denver.He has not been available to talk about his rehab, but coach John Harbaugh is optimistic Suggs will be ready for training camp.DALLAS -- Around Big D, folks fully believe Romos return to health will ensure the Cowboys return to the postseason. Hell likely need a similar recovery by receiver Dez Bryant -- and a vastly improved defense that includes the return of cornerback Orlando Scandrick -- for that to happen.But having Romo on hand instead of Brandon Weeden or Matt Cassel or Kellen Moore, well, need we say more?MIAMI -- After spending all those millions on DT Ndamukong Suh, Miamis defense ranked 25th overall, 28th against the run. It had 31 sacks; opponents had 45.And now, sacks leader Olivier Vernon is a Giant.That means Wake will need to, uh, wake up a unit that surrendered 44 touchdowns. Hes coming off a torn left Achilles tendon that cost him nine games.Wake has averaged 10 sacks for his seven seasons and is a four-time Pro Bowler.Its another obstacle to overcome, he said. Ive been doing it my whole career. I wouldnt expect this to be any different.NEW YORK JETS -- Clady has never played a snap for the Jets, who gambled and traded for him after mainstay DBrickashaw Ferguson retired. They hope he can fill a massive hole at left tackle, something Clady has done exceptionally well for most of the seven pro seasons hes gotten onto the field.Last year wasnt one of them; Clady missed Denvers championship run with a torn left ACL sustained in May 2015. Two years before that, he managed to get into only two games before a Lisfranc foot injury sidelined him.He really is New Yorks only viable option at the important LT position.Im just going to answer them by getting on the field and playing, he said of those who question his ability to return to top form. I think I can do that.GREEN BAY -- It could be argued that no players recovery is more critical to his teams title chances than Packers wideout Nelson from a torn right ACL. Even with good health for Romo, Flacco, Suggs, Wake and Clady, their teams are dealing with many other issues.Not so much in Green Bay, which has the elements to be a solid contender in the NFC. If, that is, Nelson is back to supply Aaron Rodgers with a reliable threat all over the field in the passing game. Which, incidentally, will help boost the run game.I just need to make sure Im ready to go come the start of training camp and the regular season, Nelson said. Thats where Im trying to get to. I know where I need to be mentally and physically.If he gets there, Cheeseheads everywhere can breathe easier.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and www.twitter.com/AP-NFL Andre Dillard Youth Jersey .
