He initially appeared to favor his right arm or shoulder but later had to be immobilized.After several minutes of treatment from athletic trainers, Lewis was moved onto a stretcher and carted off the field, during which he appeared to give a small wave to Ravens teammates nearby.&#8220;It&#8217;s always tough,&#8221; quarterback Joe Flacco said after the 21-0 win. &#8220;You know, it&#8217;s a part of this game. I&#8217;ve said it before, it&#8217;s what makes this a little bit different. I hope he&#8217;s OK. You know, I saw him after the play, and he looked like he was aware of everything and all that. &#8230; He knew he was hurt, so he wanted to stay on the field and have everything stop for a minute. And it wasn&#8217;t until after &#8230; that I realized it might be a little more serious than that.&#8221;With Lewis out, the Ravens moved right tackle James Hurst to guard and rookie reserve Orlando Brown Jr. to right tackle. Later, rookie Bradley Bozeman took Lewis&#8217; spot at left guard.Lewis, a fourth-round pick in 2016, missed all of last season after tearing his labrum during the preseason.
