Andre Smith has become the second Baltimore Ravens player to opt out this season, leaving the defending AFC North champions thin at offensive tackle, a source confirmed Tuesday.
He joins wide receiver/returner De'Anthony Thomas as the Ravens players who have chosen not to play in 2020 because of the coronavirus pandemic.
Smith, 33, was the oldest offensive lineman on the team and was expected to give Baltimore experienced depth at offensive tackle. Rookie third-round pick Tyre Phillips is the likely top candidate to back up Ronnie Stanley and Orlando Brown Jr.
