2012 - Ravens lose Webb, Lewis for season
The Baltimore Ravens announce that cornerback Lardarius Webb and linebacker Ray Lewis will miss the remainder of the season with a torn ACL and torn triceps, respectively.
"I'm disappointed for those guys," Ravens head coach John Harbaugh says. "It doesn't matter how I or someone else feels about it. It's their thing. These are guys that put so much heart and soul into what they do."
