Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Limited at practice
Rotowire
Smith (groin) was a limited participant at Friday's practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Smith missed the Ravens' game versus the Cowboys this past Tuesday due to a groin issue.

Still, more clarity on his chances to play in Monday's matchup with the Browns will come once Baltimore releases its final injury report.

Rotowire
Smith (ankle) is officially listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Titans.
Smith has now logged back-to-back limited practices. The veteran cornerback sat out last week's loss to the Patriots, but it looks like he has at least a fair chance of limiting himself to a one-game absence.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: No practice all week
Rotowire
Smith (ankle) missed a third consecutive practice Friday and will be a game-time decision for Sunday's game against New England, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Smith has played through various injuries all season, but Zrebiec notes that this is the first time all season that Smith wasn't able to practice at all. Newcomer Tramon Williams will likely be thrust into a prominent role right off the bat if Smith is out or limited come Sunday.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Active for Week 9
Rotowire
Smith (back) will suit up in Sunday's matchup with the Colts, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Smith's availability is great news for the team's secondary, as he came into the game questionable after not suiting up in Friday's practice. Look for Smith to handle his usual starting role at cornerback, but with T.Y. Hilton (groin) sidelined, Smith will be tasked with slowing down Zach Pascal and Michael Pittman who will be thrust into the starting lineup for the Colts in two-wide sets.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Questionable to face Colts
Rotowire
Smith (back) did not practice Friday and is questionable for Sunday's game in Indianapolis, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
Smith's injury status will merit close monitoring, given that he's started four of Baltimore's last five games. The Colts are expected to be without top wideout T.Y. Hilton (groin), a potential hint that the Ravens will have to focus more on shutting down the ground game than the aerial attack Sunday.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Questionable with Achilles injury
Rotowire
Smith (Achilles) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Steelers.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Return to Baltimore possible
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Friday he'd like the Ravens to re-sign Smith for the 2020 season, Daniel Oyefusi of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Smith missed Weeks 2 through 7 with an MCL sprain and finished the season with 30 tackles (28 solo), one sack and one interception in nine games. The Ravens have a plethora of talent at cornerback with Marlon Humphrey, Marcus Peters and Tavon Young (neck) all under contract for next season, but Smith -- who's spent all nine of his NFL seasons in Baltimore -- still could serve as a veteran presence in the secondary.

Rotowire
Smith (groin) was a full participant in Wednesday's practice, Erik Bacharach of The Tennessean reports.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Clear of groin issue
Rotowire
Smith (groin) didn't participate at Tuesday's practice for non-injury reasons.
Smith was active for the regular-season finale but didn't see the field since the Ravens were resting players with the top AFC seed secured.

Rotowire
Smith (knee) was ruled out for Sunday's game against the Bengals, Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic reports.
It will be the veteran cornerback's fifth straight absence as he continues his recovery from an MCL injury. Smith didn't practice again this week and could very well be sidelined through Baltimore's Week 8 bye, though the team hasn't provided an official return timetable.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Out for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Smith (knee) won't play in Sunday's game versus the Cardinals.
Considering the Ravens contemplated placing Smith on injured reserve, it's not surprising that he won't play Week 2. The Ravens' secondary is depleted enough with Smith out, and Marlon Humphrey (back) is also listed as questionable. Expect Brandon Carr and Anthony Averett to both have large roles regardless of Humphrey's health.

Ravens' Jimmy Smith: Scheduled for MRI
Rotowire
Coach John Harbaugh said Smith doesn't have a season-ending knee injury but will have an MRI on Monday, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Smith left in the first quarter of the season opener and didn't return. Although he's expected to return at some point this season, Monday's MRI will determine when that will be. This could be a major loss for the team's secondary, as Smith is the team's No. 2 corner. Expect Anthony Averett and Brandon Carr to see an uptick in usage if Smith sits out Week 2 versus the Cardinals.
