For a second straight game, the Baltimore Ravens go into a key late-season matchup in surprisingly good health.
But the only absence from the team's final practice of the week is a significant one: cornerback Jimmy Smith.
Smith was absent during the Ravens' indoor walk-through, as the team wrapped up preparations for its final regular-season home game against the Philadelphia Eagles Dec. 18. He sprained his ankle on a goal-line play in the first half of Baltimore's 30-23 Monday night loss in New England.
The circumstances were remarkably similar to the road game against the Cincinnati Bengals Oct. 26, 2014, during which Smith suffered a Lisfranc foot injury, forcing him to miss the rest of the season.
