Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith did not practice again Thursday.
The Ravens don’t have to designate injured players as questionable, doubtful or out until Friday, but at this point it seems Smith probably won’t be available against the Steelers in a must-win game for the Ravens.
Smith suffered an ankle injury Dec. 12 at New England and has not practiced since. The Ravens also practiced Thursday without defensive end Brent Urban (illness) and rookie linebacker Kamalei Correa (ribs). Wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. was a limited participant due to a toe injury.
In Pittsburgh, tight end Ladarius Green (concussion) and defensive end Stephon Tuitt (knee) again missed practice for the Steelers. It seems as if both teams could have to play Sunday without key defensive players.
