"The sinking feeling surfaced in the stomachs of many Ravens as Billy Cundiff's field goal attempt hooked wide of the left upright Jan. 22. But for cornerback Domonique Foxworth, the heartache began back in September, months before the team's 23-20 loss in the AFC championship game.

"My heart's been broken all season," Foxworth, carefully choosing his first words, said last Monday.

The Ravens placed the Randallstown native on injured reserve Sept. 28, his season ended by a right knee injury for a second season in a row. On the first day of training camp in 2010, Foxworth tore his anterior cruciate ligament in a non-contact drill. His season over minutes after it started, his focus switched to rehabbing his knee and, eventually, taking a lead in negotiating the new collective bargaining agreement.

But after the NFL lockout ended this summer, Foxworth was frustrated with how his surgically repaired knee felt in training camp. He was unable to regain his starting spot, struggled against the Tennessee Titans in Week 2 and was inactive a week later before the team shut him down for the season."
