OWINGS MILLS, Md. (AP) — The Baltimore Ravens received a surprise visit from injured star Ray Lewis, who was placed on the injured reserve-designated to return list over three weeks ago.
The 17-year veteran linebacker, rehabbing a torn right triceps away from the Ravens’ team facility, wasn’t expected to return to the team at this juncture of the season. However, Lewis is in town for a scheduled appearance Friday night and decided to catch the Ravens practicing during the day.
Lewis did not speak to the media Friday but released a statement saying he’s happy to return to the team.
Baltimore’s outspoken leader says, “I will speak in person when I know a little more about my progress. I’m working hard and looking forward to coming back and helping this team.
