It’s widely believed that linebacker Ray Lewis will return from a torn triceps muscle to play for the Ravens when Baltimore welcomes the Colts back to town for the eighth time.
Coach John Harbaugh won’t be confirming that until he absolutely has to.
“It’s all going to be a game-time decision, as far as anybody knows,” Harbaugh said Monday, via CSNBaltimore.com. “This is the playoffs, and we’re not taking about injuries. We’re not talking about activations. We really don’t care what you or anybody else thinks about that.”
They should care what the league office thinks, but as long as the injury report is complete there’s no further obligation to say anything about player injuries.Though the Ravens previously were fined $20,000 for failing to disclose that safety Ed Reed had a shoulder injury, the consequences for fudging the injury report are a relatively minor cost of doing business -- especially when the business entails chasing a championship.
