Tore achilles tendon in workout. He says it is a partial tear and he has not given up on playing this year. Still a really tough break for the Ravens.

It just got a little easier to win the AFC.

Good thing they drafted Upshaw.

I hope the man heals well, he was a machine for the ravens the last couple of years. Who wants to bet that Ray Lewis game drops of this year?

They've been saying that about Ray for years. I know one year they will be right, but I'm going to have to see that one before I'm willing to predict it...

I think Lewis' play is more affected by the effectiveness of the D-Linemen playing in front of him. I though he was starting to tail off several years ago until they drafted Ngata. He needs someone to absorb blockers so he can run to the ball.

Hawk sucks!

That news helps secure Ray Lewis. Besides he'll mentor Courtney Upshaw.

Yes we'll one day see RL's play decline but that's to be expected.

Ray Ray is decent now but not great. Far from elite. At this point, each season is a battle against time and the proposition that the Ravens may be better suited to run with youth than let Ray keep his roster spot, much like our conversations about Driver have shifted in that direction.

So what's the straight poop? Did he tear it playing B-Ball or "training"?

One's kosher with his contract and one's not.

[Tony Oday]

The 3-4 is supposed to have a DL that can absorb blockers.

Sounds like he did it on a Ravens testing drill.

Most LBers look better when their front lines are playing well.

Not all contracts and not all teams. Some want them doing something beside playing X Box.

I know, but I thought I read that his does and the first headlines said 'Basketball.' He took to Twitter to say "Training."

Just wondering.......

When ballin so hard goes wrong

I still think he's better than decent even at 37. If the Ravens got rid of him they would be fools at this point. He contributes far more to the Ravens than Driver does to the Pack.

You could be right and the reason he was protesting is because he is restricted. But I heard from some pro player on the radio that one HC actually wanted them playing ball or something in the offseason. Just not skiing or snowboarding.

He's got the savvy and the tackling ability. That stuff doesn't go away. His quickness, his speed aren't those of his backups, but as others have said, Ngata allows him to play at a high level.

Regardless, he's only got a year or two left, so basically, as soon as they slip from contention, he's out on his butt.
