Ray Lewis Returns From Family Matter

The Ravens were happy to have their leader back on the field Sunday, as Ray Lewis returned from taking care of what Head Coach John Harbaugh called a “personal matter.”

Harbaugh said Lewis even led a prayer to kick off team meetings Sunday morning.

“It’s great to have Ray back,” Harbaugh said after practice. “Just to walk in this morning and see him sitting in his usual seat … it’s Sunday today, so we had a little prayer, and he did it for us. Ray’s our leader, so it’s great to have him here.”

Lewis, who did not speak to the media, issued a statement about the situation through a team spokesman.

“Family always comes first and is the most important part of our lives,” Lewis said.  “I want to thank everyone for every prayer and thought they’ve provided. I’d also like to give a special thanks to the coaches and Ravens organization who have always put family first and allowed me to leave and take care of my family during this very hard time.

“We will get through this together as a family and with God. Thank you again for the thoughts and prayers and for respecting our privacy during this challenging time.”
