The Baltimore Ravens listed a total of 10 players on their first injury report of the week on Wednesday. Among them, the Ravens included Roquan Smith on the injury report due to a pectoral ailment.

It is unclear whether Smith suffered the pec injury during the Ravens’ road game against the San Francisco 49ers. Smith featured in 97 percent of Baltimore’s snaps on defense in the contest, and he tallied a team-high eight total tackles.

Smith ended up taking part in the entirety of Baltimore's practice session on Thursday. After practice, the all-around linebacker took some time to downplay concerns regarding his status for the Ravens’ upcoming home matchup against the Miami Dolphins.

"I feel great," Smith said. "You see me out there in practice — ready to go, baby."

Smith and the Ravens will be in for a crucial test against a Dolphins offense that features a plethora of playmakers across the board.

"I think [they’re] a really talented team, starting at the quarterback position, but [also] starting with the head coaching position," Smith said. "I actually like his personality from afar, in a sense, and the way he carries himself. Starting with Tua, Tyreek on the outside, the running back – 31 Mostert, 28. A lot of speed out there. … I think it’s going to be a great one."

A win for the Ravens over the Dolphins would clinch them the No. 1 seed in the AFC.
