Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith was carted off the practice field on Friday after sustaining an apparent right leg injury.
The Athletic later reported that Smith was diagnoses with a low ankle sprain, a relatively minor injury that could see him return to action in time for the season opener.
Smith was involved in tight coverage on tight end Mark Andrews when the injury occurred. According to The Athletic, Smith was unable to place any weight on his leg before being carted off the field.
Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters immediately after practice that it was too soon for an injury update.
Smith, 33, has spent his entire career with Baltimore after being selected by the club with the 27th overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft.
Smith recorded 27 tackles, one sack and one fumble recovery in 11 games (five starts) last season. He has 356 tackles, 14 interceptions and two fumble recoveries in 118 career games (88 starts) with the Ravens.
