NFL notes: Ravens LB Lewis won’t play

Injured Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis won’t play today against the Denver Broncos.

Lewis has been sidelined since tearing his right triceps on Oct. 14 against the Dallas Cowboys. The 17-year NFL veteran is now eligible to come off the injured-reserve-designated-to-return list, but the Ravens did not move him to the active roster before Saturday’s deadline.

The 37-year-old Lewis has been practicing for the past two weeks but obviously is not healthy enough to return.

Rookie Kirk Cousins will start for the Washington Redskins in place of Robert Griffin III.
