Perhaps Lewis just wants to give the Ravens something to think about, because this seems like a stretch. All reporting has said Green would miss at least two games with the injury, and the latest information has him out until next month. Either the Bengals are preparing to spring an extraordinary surprise on the Ravens and everyone else, or they just want Baltimore to have it in their heads as they prepare for the game.
