Ravens' Ray Lewis, Lardarius Webb to miss rest of season

Lewis tore his right triceps during Sunday's 31-29 victory over Dallas. The 37-year-old Lewis leads Baltimore in tackles and is the voice of experience in the huddle.

“Ray in the locker room afterward, we didn't know (the extent of the injury) but he was worried about it,” Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Monday. “He said some things about his faith. He said some things that I'll never forget.”

Over a spectacular 17-year career, Lewis has been invited to 13 Pro Bowls, was named Super Bowl MVP and is a two-time NFL defensive player of the year. He turns 38 in May, so it's possible that Sunday's game was his last.

“That's for Ray to speak on,” Harbaugh said.

Baltimore also lost cornerback Lardarius Webb for the year after he tore the ACL in his left knee Sunday. The injury occurred when Webb collided with Dallas wide receiver Dez Bryant in the first quarter.

Neither Lewis nor Webb spoke after Sunday's game and both were unavailable for comment on Monday.

For Harbaugh, it was more about the players than the impact losing them would have on the team.

“I'm disappointed for those guys,” Harbaugh said. “It doesn't matter how I or someone else feels about it. It's their thing. These are guys that put so much effort, heart and soul into what they do.”

Webb missed the latter part of his rookie season in 2009 with a torn right ACL, and now he's facing surgery again.
