Injury roundup: Steve Smith (ankle) doesn't practice

Steve Smith is "icing up."

The Ravens veteran wide receiver did not participate in practice on Wednesday. Smith sustained an ankle injury that knocked him out of the Ravens' Week 5 loss to the Redskins.

Smith suffered a torn Achilles tendon last season that caused him to miss half the season. That injury postponed Smith's planned retirement at least another season, as Smith didn't want to go out that way. Now Smith faces another injury hurdle as the Ravens try and get back on track after two home losses following a 3-0 start.

Fellow veteran Ravens receiver Mike Wallace is also nursing a rib injury and donned a red non-contact jersey at practice.

Here are some other injury updates we have on Wednesday:

1. Redskins tight end Jordan Reed is in concussion protocol, coach Jay Gruden said. Reed is the Redskins' leading receiver and Kirk Cousins' safety net in the red zone.

Rookie safety Su'a Cravens is also in the concussion protocol.

2. The Jets announced wideoutEric Decker has been placed on injured reserve, the team announced. Head coach Todd Bowles said Decker will undergo shoulder surgery and it is estimated the receiver will have an eight-month recovery period.

3. Panthers quarterback Cam Newton returned to practice, however, in a limited capacity. Newton suffered a concussion in the Panthers' loss to Falcons on Oct. 2. His return is a positive indication Newton could return to the lineup soon.

Running back Jonathan Stewart (hamstring) was also limited. Offensive tackle Michael Oher's concussion was "unfortunately" worse than Newton's, Ron Rivera said. Cornerback Robert McClain hamstring) was limited.

4. Broncos quarterback Trevor Siemian (shoulder) is questionable to play Thursday night versus the Chargers. Siemian, who missed last week's loss to the Falcons, is expected to start, with a collective decision being made later in the week on his availability, NFL Network's James Palmer said Tuesday.

5. Chiefs star pass rusher Justin Houston has been cleared to resume football activity but has not been removed from the Physically Unable to Perform list after undergoing an offseason knee scope to repair his ACL. The earliest Houston can come off the PUP list is Monday, per the Chiefs.
