Veteran Jimmy
Smith was ruled out and four other Baltimore cornerbacks are
listed as questionable for Sunday's home game against the
Jacksonville Jaguars.
Smith will miss the contest due to rib and shoulder injuries.
Star corner Marcus Peters (calf) is questionable, along with
Anthony Averett (ankle), Davontae Harris (ankle) and Tramon
Williams (thigh).
Peters, who was injured during Monday's game against the
Cleveland Browns, didn't practice this week. He has missed just
three games in six NFL seasons.
Marlon Humphrey, who leads the NFL with eight forced fumbles, is
the team's lone healthy cornerback.
"We're just learning as we go," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said
of the dilemma involving the cornerbacks. "It's only Friday, so
we'll see when we get there."
The Ravens (8-5) could promote Pierre Desir off the practice
squad or activate Terrell Bonds (knee) from injured reserve.
Also, linebacker Kristian Welch (foot) was ruled out of the
contest. Starting defensive ends Calais Campbell (calf) and
Derek Wolfe (neck/back), safety Anthony Levine Sr. (abdomen),
tight end Luke Willson (hip), and defensive tackle Broderick
Washington (concussion) are also listed as questionable.
