The Baltimore Ravens could be without cornerback Jimmy Smith for “multiple weeks” due to a sprained right knee, coach John Harbaugh said Monday.
An MRI confirmed a significant Grade 2 sprain for the 31-year-old veteran, who began his ninth season with Baltimore in Sunday’s 59-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins.
When asked about putting Smith on injured reserve, Harbaugh said it was possible but not probable.
Smith has played 99 games (79 starts) for the Ravens since being selected in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft. He entered the season with 299 career tackles and 13 interceptions.
