Rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith, the Baltimore Ravens' first-round pick in April's NFL draft, suffered a high ankle sprain in Sunday’s 35-7 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers and will be out a few weeks, The Baltimore Sun reported Monday.
Smith was hurt while covering a kickoff in the first quarter.
"He's in a boot, he's on crutches, he had an MRI. He does have a high ankle sprain. That's going to be a few weeks," coach John Harbaugh said. "We'll just have to see how that plays out. Hopefully, he's a quick healer, but that was a tough one."
Harbaugh also confirmed that wide receiver and kick returner David Reed rejoined the Ravens for their walkthrough Monday after serving a one-game suspension for violating the NFL's substance-abuse policy. The return of Reed means that the organization must waive someone from the roster.
