Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis practiced on Friday for the first time since injuring his back nearly three weeks ago, and his availability for Sunday is considered a game-time decision. During the media viewing of yesterday's non-contact workout, Lewis showed no hesitancy in any of the drills, whether it was running, backpedaling or catching a pass from coach Brian Billick. Asked after practice whether he intends to play against the Pittsburgh Steelers tomorrow, Lewis said, "I don't know yet."

Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis underwent a minor surgical procedure Thursday to have a pocket of blood drained from his swollen back, and is unlikely to play on Sunday against the Falcons. However, the seven-time All-Pro wasn't immediately ruled out and is expected to remain listed as questionable on the injury report.

Tennessee receiver David Givens hurt his left knee in the fourth quarter against Baltimore and had to be carted off the field, the second player needing such help in the game. Givens hurt himself when he stopped to block on a run by Travis Henry and went down on his own. He missed the previous four games with a broken left thumb. Baltimore running back Musa Smith was up and walking a little while after being strapped to a backboard and carted off the field in the first half.

Ravens middle linebacker Ray Lewis missed his first game this season Sunday when he was deactivated against the Titans with a back injury.
