Ray Lewis Leaves 'Dancing With The Stars' Due To Foot Injury

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Former Baltimore Ravens linebacker Ray Lewis withdrew from "Dancing With The Stars" Monday night due to a foot injury.

Lewis and partner Cheryl Burke ended their run on Monday's show.

In a series of tweets, Burke said dancing with Lewis meant a lot to her but it's important to consider his health.

"Being an athlete means pushing yourself past your limits, but also knowing when to take care of your body," she wrote. "Unfortunately, due to injuries he sustained to his foot, our journey to the mirror ball ends tonight."

Lewis has a number of awards to his name, including being a Super Bowl champ and Pro Football Hall of Famer.
