Roquan Smith, the All-Pro linebacker for the Baltimore Ravens, declined to comment on whether he would be fined for a tackle that resulted in a serious ankle injury to Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin. Godwin underwent surgery after suffering a dislocated ankle during the Ravens' 41-31 victory.

Smith emphasized that he never aims to injure players, while Buccaneers coach Todd Bowles defended his decision to keep Godwin in the game despite the injury risk. The NFL is reviewing the tackle as part of an ongoing assessment of hip-drop tackles, which were banned due to their high injury rate.
