Jimmy Smith, Dennis Pitta Recoveries on Track
There were a ton of news worthy headlines that came out of John Harbaugh’s season ending press conference yesterday. One of the most notable concerns Jimmy Smith, who will be able to resume running in the next month and is expected to be a full participant in offseason activities.
Justin Forsett Added to Pro Bowl Roster
Arian Foster is a no go due to injury, which opens up a spot for Forsett. It’s a much deserved honor for Forsett, who had a career season. Forsett joins Elvis Dumervil, C.J. Mosley, and Marshal Yanda as Ravens players who are currently on the roster.
