NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Baltimore Ravens' guard, Alex Lewis, was released from hospital after suffering a neck injury during the fourth quarter of Sunday's 21-0 win over the Titans of Tennessee, a announced a spokesman for the team.
Lewis was allowed to join the team about an hour after the match and to return to the Ravens' charter after undergoing a scan. He will receive further tests in Baltimore.
"Until here, everything is fine," Harbaugh said. "There is a lot of optimism."
Lewis, a second-year starter, was sidelined on a stretcher with 13 minutes and 58 seconds to play. He was able to move all his extremities before being placed in the ambulance.
Lewis was injured when he collided with a Titan defender, giving him his head back. After standing still for a few seconds, Lewis fell to the ground.
The Ravens' medical staff watched Lewis for several minutes before placing him on a stretcher. His teammates took one knee while Lewis was on the ground, then came to see him when he was placed on the cart. Lewis raised his left hand as he was out of the field.
The Ravens held a team prayer in the locker room after the match.
Without Lewis, the Ravens replaced him with a sixth-round pick as rookie Bradley Bozeman.
A fourth round pick in the 2016 draft, Lewis missed everything last year because of a shoulder injury he suffered at the training camp.
"It's always difficult," said quarterback Joe Flacco. "It's part of this game." "I've already said it's what makes this game a little different." I hope it's fine. "
