When the Ravens brought in Chris Johnson, they needed a veteran in the secondary who could help make up for the loss of Jimmy Smith in the secondary.
The Ravens’ banged-up defense took another hit Sunday with linebacker Terrell Suggs sitting out with a torn right biceps, and they won’t have starting cornerback Jimmy Smith, either.
Jimmy Smith moved around this week, taking in limited reps during practice with the Ravens but the cornerback is questionable for Sunday's game at the Washington Redskins and likely won't play.
Starting linebackers Terrell Suggs and Dannell Ellerbe did not practice for the Ravens on Wednesday, and neither did tight end Ed Dickson.
The Ravens are, to borrow a term from the horse racing industry, turning for home. They hold a two-game lead in the AFC North with just four games left.
