Ravens CB Jimmy Smith questionable to return with groin injury

The Baltimore Ravens can ill afford to have any injuries in this game against the Pittsburgh Steelers. After putting 23 players on the Reserve/COVID-19 list over the last 10 days and seeing this game rescheduled three separate times, Baltimore is understandably short-handed today. And things got just a little worse for the Ravens as cornerback Jimmy Smith limped to the sideline. A few minutes later and Baltimore announced Smith is questionable to return to the game with a groin injury.

The Ravens cornerback unit was already thin entering this week, seeing several players head to injured reserve. But the starting lineup wasn’t much affected by Baltimore’s COVID-19 outbreak. Still, losing Smith for any period of time would be a big blow for a defense that is desperately trying to limit a high-powered Steelers offense and give the Ravens’ offense good field position.
