The Baltimore Ravens improved to 5-1 on Sunday but lost way more than they gained as both linebacker Ray Lewis and cornerback Lardarius Webb will miss the remainder of the season, coach John Harbaugh confirmed Monday.
How important is Webb to the Ravens? The impact of his injury might rival that of Darrelle Revis' absence to the Jets' unit, Football Outsiders' Vince Verhei writes. Story
Lewis suffered a "full tear" of his triceps muscle, Harbaugh said, while a torn ACL in his left knee has ended Webb's year.
Webb banged his knee in a first-quarter collision with Cowboys wide receiver Dez Bryant. Webb remained prone on the field for several minutes before being helped to the sideline.
Now in his fourth season, Webb has one interception, one forced fumble and a fumble recovery in six games this year.
Meanwhile, Haloti Ngata, the team's best player on the defensive line, suffered a torn MCL in the victory but is likely to play Sunday against the Texans, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.
Lewis led the Ravens with 14 tackles in Sunday's 31-29 win over the Cowboys.
It is unknown how this injury affects the long-term future of Lewis, 37, who has refused to talk about his retirement plans.
Harbaugh refused to speculate about Lewis' NFL future on Monday.
"I'm not going to comment on that. That's for Ray to speak on," Harbaugh said.
Lewis has been invited to 13 Pro Bowls and is a two-time NFL Defensive Player of the Year.
Webb, considered to be Baltimore's best cornerback, tore his right ACL as a rookie in 2009
