Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh announced yesterday afternoon that All-Pro linebacker Ray Lewis would be lost for the rest of the season after tearing his triceps muscle in his right arm during Sunday's game.
After hearing the news, people began to fear that the injury could potentially end his illustrious 17-year career.
Lewis is deemed by many to be the most dominating and passionate linebackers of all time, so his absence from the league is depressing to think about. He's locked up 12 Pro Bowl appearances and his 57 tackles this season are that fourth-most in the NFL.
That's why it's so hard for people to believe that this could be the end of Lewis' career.
He's looked up to as one of the hardest-working players around the league.
Ray Lewis has helped progress this game so guys like myself have something to strive to be...a professional. Prayers sent up

And almost no one wants to see his career come to an end.
I have so much respect for the way Ray Lewis plays the game. I hope this isn't it for him!!!

His numbers speak for themselves.
40/30. Ray Lewis is the only player in NFL history with 40 sacks and 30 interceptions.
