Ray-Ray update

If any other player missed a week of practice, they wouldn't play Sunday, but there still is a possibility Lewis could play. He told teammates early Friday morning that he had to get an MRI on his back later in the day. Lewis missed a week of practice last season, and still started the game.

Injuries are always unfortunate, but at least the Ravens are playing the lowly Titans. With teams like Atlanta, Pittsburgh, K.C. and Cincinnati coming up, this seems like the perfect time to put Lewis on the bench for a week to heal. Also, backup Mike Smith played extremely well during the preseason. He doesn't have Lewis's mobility, and few linebackers do, but the kid seems to have a nose for the ball, and he hustles.

Ray-Ray has to be smart and think about the large picture. It sounds like he is dying to get on the field to stick it to the Titans for among other reasons their absolutely lousy treatment of McNair. I don't know if Ray is right about racism being a factor, but however you look at it, the Titans threw McNair under the bus. Absolutely. Classless.

On second thought, Ray, get in there, if just for a few plays, and hit somebody so hard their bones rattle!!!
