Ravens keep Bell, Freeman on practice squad for opener

Sitting out Monday Smith (ankle) is listed as inactive Monday at Las Vegas.
Impact Smith injured his ankle in an early August practice. What was deemed a low-ankle sprain at the time lingered into the regular season, as he was limited at practice both Friday and Saturday. Now that Smith is sidelined for at least the opener, the Ravens will be down to just Marlon Humphrey, Anthony Averett, Tavon Young and Chris Westry at cornerback with three others -- most notably, Marcus Peters (knee) -- on injured reserve.

Questionable for Monday night Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable ahead of Monday night's season opener against the Raiders, Jamison Hensley of ESPN.com reports.
Impact Smith was a limited participant in practice both Friday and Saturday as he makes his way back from an ankle injury suffered in early August. The Ravens secondary lost Marcus Peters earlier this week to a torn ACL, so the possibility of Smith missing Week 1 looms large for the Baltimore defense as the team prepares to visit the Raiders on Monday night.

Absent from injury report Smith (ankle) isn't on the injury report ahead of Monday night's Week 1 matchup against the Raiders.
Impact Smith suffered a low-ankle sprain in practice in early August, but he doesn't have any limitations in practice ahead of the season opener. The 33-year-old will have the chance to carve out a role in the Ravens' secondary to begin the year since the team fears that Marcus Peters suffered a torn ACL in Thursday's practice.

Out 1-to-2 weeks Smith (ankle) is expected to miss a week or two of practice, Jonas Shaffer of The Baltimore Sun reports.
Impact Smith exited Friday's practice due to a low-ankle sprain, and the injury will likely force him to miss Saturday's preseason opener against the Saints. The cornerback may have a chance to return for the team's second exhibition game, and he has a good shot to return for Week 1 as long as he doesn't encounter any setbacks.

Avoids serious injury Smith suffered a low-ankle sprain at Friday's practice, NFL reporter Josina Anderson reports.
Impact Smith had to be carted off the field after getting tangled up with teammate Mark Andrews, but the veteran cornerback has at least avoided a worst-case scenario. The recovery timetable for a low-ankle sprain can have a wide range of lengths, but Smith should have a fair shot at being back on the field for Week 1.

The veteran cornerback has a lengthy injury history, having dealt with back, hip, knee, ankle, groin and shoulder issues in 2020 alone.
