Here’s a bit of unexpected news for you Dancing With the Stars fans. Ray Lewis and his partner Cheryl Burke announced they will be leaving the competition.  According to sources, the reason for the early exit is an injury sustained by Lewis.

“You tore three tendons. It’s going to require surgery.” The doctor added, “You keep dancing on it, it’s going to actually rupture.” “

“This is probably one of the hardest decisions of my life. But right now, I gotta make sure that I don’t damage something enough to where I can’t walk.” Ray said.  Just last week the couple was on the verge of elimination but were saved by the judges.  Do you think Ray really has an injury? Could this just be a case of Ray’s ego getting in the way?
