    BALTIMORE -- An MRI on the right triceps of Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis revealed no tear to the main muscle, ESPN's Sal Paolantonio reported Wednesday afternoon. </p>

    Lewis did not participate in the team's Wednesday workout. Ravens coach Brian Billick says Lewis will be a game-time decision. </p>

    Lewis hurt his upper right arm on his first tackle of Monday's season opener at Cincinnati. He got up after tackling receiver T.J. Houshmandazeh holding his arm in pain. </p>

    Reports after Monday night's game indicated that Lewis had torn one of his triceps muscles. Lewis, asked by ESPN.com's Matt Mosley if his triceps was torn after the game, said: "Yeah, I think it is." </p>

    Lewis finished the series, then came to the sideline and got a stretch wrap applied to his upper arm. Lewis played the next series, but shied away from contact with the arm. </p>

    Lewis later jogged to the locker room to get the arm examined. </p>

    </p>

    Lewis returned after getting his upper right arm tightly wrapped. During his next series, Lewis pulled down Rudi Johnson with his opposite arm, clearly favoring the injured one.</p>

    I'm glad to hear the good news. Our defense just isn't the same without him in the lineup. I hope he has a game like on Monday where he was all over the field.
