As expected http://www.ravensauthorizedshops.com/authentic-brent-urban-jersey , the Baltimore Ravens have moved cornerback Jimmy Smith to the active roster, while they have waived Darious Williams.Smith will rejoin a highly ranked secondary, and although he is not expected to start against the Browns, he will likely be in rotation with Brandon Carr and Marlon Humphrey on the outside. The Ravens still have five cornerbacks on the active roster, but Anthony Averett is dealing with a hamstring injury. Maurice Canady is on injured reserve, but he is expected to be one of two players who can return later this season. Smith has not played in a regular season game since last season, he will likely see extended action as the Ravens will only have four healthy cornerbacks. The other interesting aspect of this move is Baltimore elected to keep five inside linebackers instead six cornerbacks. Despite how well the secondary, specifically the cornerbacks have played C.J. Mosley Jersey , adding Jimmy Smith will only improve this unit. He is coming off of one of his best seasons to date even though he ended up on injured reserve after week 13. Smith recorded nine pass breakups, three interceptions, including a pick-six, and 28 combined tackles. He was named Pro Football Focus’ mid-season All-Pro team. As for Darious Williams, it was a surprise to see him make the initial 53-man roster, but Smith’s suspension and Maurice Canady’s lingering injury forced Baltimore’s hand. He was inconsistent during the preseason as he allowed several ‘explosive plays.’ However, Williams did show an adept ability in press-coverage, and he could contribute on special teams. Williams did not play a single defensive snap in three games Authentic Hayden Hurst Jersey , but he did appear on 26 special team snaps. He was only inactive in week one due to Baltimore’s depth at cornerback, but injuries forced him to be active.If Williams clears waivers, then the Ravens could sign him to their practice squad with a corresponding move. Their practice squad is currently at full capacity. Greg Joseph‘s 37-yard overtime field goal against the Ravens last Sunday might well rank as one of the ugliest game-winning kicks in NFL history. As it turns out, there’s a explanation for the knuckle ball kick barely clearing the crossbar.Ravens safety Tony Jefferson admitted he partially blocked the kick, and Ravens special teams coach Jerry Rosburg confirmed it.“Just coming out of my stance, I kind of slipped,” Jefferson told reporters in Baltimore, via Mary Kay Cabot of the Cleveland Plain Dealer. “I think if I wouldn’t have done that Youth Tony Jefferson Jersey , I probably would’ve had an even better opportunity to fully block it. I just didn’t get the job done.”Browns cornerbabck Denzel Ward blocked Justin Tucker‘s 48-yard try in the second quarter, leaving Rosburg to lament what a game of inches football is.“Their guy got four fingers on it, and our guy got three,” Rosburg said. “That’s the difference between winning and losing sometimes. That particular play turned out to be a huge factor in the game.”
