Bad news for Baltimore!
He was subsequently replaced in the lineup by teammate Malik Harrison.
Ravens LB Roquan Smith ran afoul of the NFL
It wasn’t long ago that Smith ran afoul of the NFL and was fined for his hit on Chris Godwin during Baltimore’s Week Seven victory over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. However, he appealed the fine on the grounds that it was a hip-drop tackle, and the fine was eventually rescinded.
Godwin wasn’t as fortunate, as he suffered a dislocated ankle and required surgery to repair it. Smith later spoke and stated that he never intended to hurt anyone and that he wishes Godwin a quick recovery, via NBC Sports.
“First and foremost, [I’m] wishing a speedy recovery for Godwin,” Smith said. “It was never my intention to hurt anyone, like I’ve said before, but it was a clean tackle. It was just on Monday Night Football, the entire world was watching, and hey, it may look like something, but it wasn’t.
“That was clear that it wasn’t, but speedy recovery to him, and I move on with my day.”
