Ravens coach John Harbaugh is optimistic about inside linebacker Roquan Smith's availability for the upcoming game against the Los Angeles Chargers, despite his hamstring injury. Smith, who leads the Ravens in tackles, is currently listed as questionable.
If Smith cannot play, Baltimore may adjust their linebacker strategy, potentially shifting Malik Harrison to an inside role. Defensive coordinator Zach Orr indicated that the team would use a combination of players to fill the gap.
On the Chargers' side, they will be missing former Ravens tight end Hayden Hurst and linebacker Denzel Perryman, while several key players, including Khalil Mack, are also questionable.
