Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is expected to play in Week 13 against the Philadelphia Eagles, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter. He entered this weekend listed as questionable. Schefter notes that Smith wanted to play last Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, but the Ravens decided to hold him out one more game in order to have him fully healthy for this week's battle against Saquon Barkley and the Eagles. Smith has been a key defensive threat in his age-27 season, registering 110 tackles, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, and one interception through 11 games so far.
As expected, Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) inside linebacker is officially inactive for the Monday night showdown against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium. Smith came down with an injured hamstring in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers and will miss Monday's game after not practicing all week. It will be the 27-year-old's first missed game with Baltimore due to injury, and it's a major downgrade for a Ravens offense that has been very disappointing in 2024. The All-Pro linebacker has been a top-five fantasy option at the position in IDP fantasy leagues this year with 110 tackles (61 solo), an interception, three pass breakups, a forced fumble and a fumble recovery in 11 games. In his absence against the Chargers, Chris Board and Malik Harrison will be expected to do more.
Baltimore Ravens All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring), who is questionable to play on Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers, is unlikely to suit up, according to sources. If Smith is ruled inactive, as expected, it will be his first game missed with Baltimore due to injury. The 27-year-old suffered a hamstring injury in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers last Sunday and was unable to practice all week. If Smith sits out to close out Week 12 action, he'll turn his attention to getting healthy in time for the Week 13 contest at home against the Philadelphia Eagles. Not having Smith on Monday night would be a key loss for the heart of the Ravens' defense, with Chris Board and Malik Harrison both likely to see an increase in defensive snaps for Baltimore. Smith is currently tied for fourth among linebackers in overall fantasy points for those in IDP leagues.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is currently listed as questionable ahead of the Monday Night matchup against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith was forced to exit early during last week's loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers due to a hamstring issue. The stud linebacker has been unable to practice all week, which puts his status in doubt for Week 12. The loss of Smith would certainly hurt given he has 110 tackles on the season. Chris Board is listed as the second string linebacker, so he figures to get the start if Smith is unable to play.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is not practicing on Thursday after missing Wednesday's session with a hamstring injury. The two-time All-Pro suffered the injury in the Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, and it appears he is at risk of missing Monday night's game against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith is one of the top IDP players in fantasy football, so his status is worth monitoring over the next few days. Smith has collected 110 total tackles (61 solo), one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception, and three pass deflections in 11 games this year.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) is not practicing on Wednesday after suffering a hamstring injury in the Week 11 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The two-time first-team All-Pro is the leader of the strong Baltimore front seven, so it would be a major loss if he has to miss any upcoming games. Baltimore will face the Los Angeles Chargers on Monday Night Football, so fantasy managers in IDP leagues should monitor his status throughout the week. The former first-round pick by the Chicago Bears in 2018 has tallied 110 total tackles (61 solo), one forced fumble, one fumble recovery, one interception, and three pass deflections in 11 games this year.
Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said there are currently no updates on the status of linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) after he injured his hamstring in the Week 11 loss to the division-rival Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. "No updates right now. Just monitoring it as we go," Harbaugh said. Smith injured his hamstring early in the fourth quarter and was ruled out for the remainder of the game shortly after. Before leaving, the 27-year-old was busy, collecting 13 tackles (two for loss) against the Steelers. We'll have a better idea on Smith's Week 12 status once the Ravens resume practicing on Wednesday, but if he's unable to play, it will be a big loss for Baltimore's defense next Monday night against the Los Angeles Chargers. Smith currently checks in as the No. 3 fantasy linebacker in IDP leagues in overall points.
Baltimore Ravens linebacker Roquan Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for the remainder of Week 11 versus the Pittsburgh Steelers. This is a crushing loss for the Ravens given that Smith led the team in total tackles and tackles for loss at the time of his departure on Sunday. The veteran defender finishes the divisional battle with 13 total tackles, including two tackles for loss. Malik Harrison projects to earn more snaps for the duration of Smith's absence.
Roquan Smith Back Limited, Kyle Van Noy Still Not Practicing
Baltimore Ravens linebackers Roquan Smith (shoulder) and Kyle Van Noy (eye) were listed as limited and DNP, respectively, regarding Wednesday's practice report. Van Noy played just 37% of the snaps in Thursday night's opener against the Kansas City Chiefs before he exited early in the third quarter. The outside linebacker sustained the injury while attempting to take down Patrick Mahomes, and it's officially listed as a fractured orbital bone. Smith, on the other hand, played a full complement of snaps and appears to have picked up the injury sometime over the last few days. There wasn't much news on him, suggesting this may be a prudent move rather than a necessary one. Baltimore will square off with the Las Vegas Raiders in their home opener this Sunday, and while the Raiders' offensive unit isn't all that fear-inducing, the Ravens cannot afford an 0-2 start. Additionally, they'll take on the Cowboys in Dallas in Week 3 and need their defense at full strength in one of the best games over the first month.
Ravens Make Roquan Smith Highest Paid At His Position
The Baltimore Ravens agreed in principle on Tuesday to make All-Pro linebacker Roquan Smith the highest-paid at his position in NFL history with a five-year, $100 million deal, according to a source. He will receive $45 million guaranteed and $60 million in total guarantees. Smith becomes the first off-ball linebacker to get $20 million per year. Baltimore acquired the 25-year-old pass-rusher from the Chicago Bears in late October, and Smith was a force right away for the Ravens, finishing with 86 tackles (51 solo), seven tackles for loss, two sacks, an interception and three passes defensed in nine games. He should once again be a top pick at the linebacker position in IDP fantasy leagues in 2023. Most importantly for the Ravens, the franchise tag remains in play for quarterback Lamar Jackson.
