Coming off a bye week that gave players a few extra days of rest and recovery, Ravens head coach John Harbaugh said he is "pretty confident" that cornerback Jimmy Smith, linebacker Patrick Onwuasor and rookie wide receiver Marquise Brown will be available for the "Sunday Night Football" showdown Nov. 3 between the Ravens (5-2) and the undefeated New England Patriots (8-0) at M&T Bank Stadium.
"They're on track," Harbaugh said at his weekly news conference Oct. 28 as the Ravens returned to work after their Week 8 bye. "We'll see how it goes this week. I'm pretty confident that they'll be there, but you never know."
Smith has not played since sustaining a sprained knee early in the season opener. The nine-year veteran, who has battled injuries throughout his career, "had a really good training camp," Harbaugh said, "so if we could get him back that would be huge for us. I am excited about it. I hope it works out."
