Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith missed the team’s last two games before their Week Eight bye due to an ankle injury, but was able to get in a pair of practices to close the week.
That led the team to list him as questionable and a report from Adam Schefter of ESPN suggested that a decision about his presence in the lineup would come right down to the wire. Schefter reported that the team has two game plans -- one with Smith and one without -- in place for Sunday’s game against the Steelers.
It seems Smith thinks they’ll only need the plan that accounts for his presence in the lineup. Smith tweeted that “everyone keeps asking am I playing” along with a picture of his son captioned with “You don’t know my daddy then!!!”
The Ravens will make Smith’s status official at 11:30 a.m. ET when they announced their inactive players for the AFC North matchup. Linebacker C.J. Mosley, left tackle Ronnie Stanley, linebacker Terrell Suggs and right guard Marshal Yanda also come into the game with questionable designations.
