Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith will have screws removed from his surgically repaired right foot this week and will need four to six weeks to recover, a team source said Friday.
Smith will likely miss most of the spring offseason workouts but he could participate in a minicamp in June, the source said. Smith is expected to be ready for the start of training camp in late July, the source added.
Smith suffered a season-ending Lisfranc foot injury 16 months ago and underwent surgery in November 2014. At the team's offseason workout program earlier this month, Smith said he hoped this wasn't a two-year injury.
