Baltimore linebacker Roquan Smith has been ruled out for Monday night’s game against the Los Angeles Chargers due to a hamstring injury.
Smith, who leads the Ravens with 110 tackles, did not participate in practice all week after injuring his hamstring in last week’s 18-16 loss to Pittsburgh.
His absence may impact the Ravens’ defense, which is ranked 26th in the league. Malik Harrison, who had a season-high in tackles against the Steelers, is expected to take on a bigger role.
In addition to Smith, running back Rasheen Ali, center Nick Samac, linebacker David Ojabo, cornerback Arthur Maulet, and safety Sanoussi Kane were also inactive for the Ravens.
The Chargers were without rookie cornerback Cam Hart, who is still in the concussion protocol. However, linebacker Khalil Mack, who missed last week’s win over Cincinnati due to a groin injury, returned to the lineup.
Inactive for the Chargers were linebacker Denzel Perryman, wide receiver DJ Chark, running back Kimani Vidal, and offensive linemen Brenden Jaimes and Jordan McFadden. Easton Stick was the third quarterback.
