OWINGS MILLS, Md. โ€” After several reports saying cornerback Lardarius Webb is dealing with a toe injury that could sideline him for a few weeks, Ravens coach John Harbaugh stated otherwise on Monday afternoon.
Itโ€™s up to you to choose whether you take what he says at face value.
When asked about the status of injured linebacker Ray Lewis, whoโ€™s missed the Ravensโ€™ last four games with a turf toe injury, Harbaugh provided an answer similar to what weโ€™ve heard over the last month with his star defensive player sidelined.

โ€œThe Harbaugh scale would be very hopeful, very hopeful for his return,โ€ Harbaugh said. โ€œHeโ€™s doing a good job.โ€
Reports have indicated for a few weeks that Lewis and the Ravens are targeting a potential comeback for the 36-year-old linebacker against the San Diego Chargers on Sunday.
However, the Baltimore coach continued โ€” unprovoked โ€” to discuss his teamโ€™s overall health in what sounded like a preventative measure to avoid any questions regarding the status of his No. 1 cornerback who leads the Ravens with four interceptions this season.
โ€œAs far as injuries go, to answer your question, thereโ€™s nothing serious coming out of that game,โ€ Harbaugh said. โ€œWeโ€™ve got bumps and bruises. There may be some guys that we rest throughout the course of the week โ€” practice-wise โ€” but we anticipate everybody that was playing last week โ€” healthy-wise โ€” to be healthy this week. And weโ€™re hoping to add some [returning] guys. Weโ€™ll see. Youโ€™ve got guys like [Lewis], Chris Carr off the top of my head. You can help me with anybody else.โ€
At that point, a reported asked Harbaugh about Webbโ€™s status for San Diego, and the response was brief in reiterating what he had already said.
โ€œLardarius played last week, so you have that answer,โ€ Harbaugh said, โ€œbut those other two guys would have a chance for this week. Weโ€™ll just have to see.โ€
Draw any conclusion youโ€™d like, but Harbaugh covered himself by using the word โ€œanticipateโ€ in discussing any players who played in Sundayโ€™s game being ready to play against the Chargers. By suggesting players may receive rest during practices this week, the Ravens coach may have bought himself a few days regarding Webb.
If Webb does appear on Wednesdayโ€™s injury report โ€” as you would expect him to at this point โ€” Harbaugh can point to what he said on Monday and technically say he wasnโ€™t being misleading.
Whether Webb plays this Sunday or not, itโ€™s clear the Ravens coach had no intention of revealing his hand so early in the week.
As a result, weโ€™ll be left guessing until the middle of the week.
