The injury that knocked Smith out of Sunday's game against the Rams was to his ankle, and coach Sean Payton said after the game that Smith will require X-rays, Luke Johnson of USA Today reports.
There should be greater clarification on Smith's timetable once the results of the exam are known. His injury was just one of many setbacks in what was a rough day for the Saints -- quarterback Drew Brees had to leave the game with a hand injury and New Orleans got the short end of the stick with yet another officiating blunder in what turned into a 27-9 loss.
