Smith played in 16 regular-season games in 2024 and finished with 154 tackles (81 solo), including 1.5 sacks, four pass defenses (including one interception), one forced fumble and one fumble recovery.
Smith was four combined tackles shy from matching his production from the 2023 campaign, and he finished the 2024 campaign with the fifth-most tackles in the NFL behind Zaire Franklin (173), Budda Baker (164), Robert Spillane (158) and Jamien Sherwood (158). Smith played every single defensive snap across the Ravens' two playoff games and accumulated 13 tackles (six solo) over that span. The 2018 first-round pick has been a tackling machine for the Ravens since being traded by the Bears to Baltimore in October 2022.

Smith was Baltimore's leading tackler in the 31-2 rout, and his third-quarter chase-down of C.J. Stroud was his first full sack of the campaign. Smith's eight stops pushed him to 144 on the campaign. That's 14 away from the 158 he recorded in 16 regular-season games last year.
Smith recorded 10 total tackles (five solo) in Saturday's 34-17 win over the Steelers.

Ravens' Roquan Smith: Pops up on injury report
Rotowire
Smith (shoulder) was listed as a limited participant in practice Wednesday.
Smith played an effective 100 percent of the defensive snaps in the team's loss to the Chiefs last Thursday.

In all likelihood, Smith will find his way onto the field Sunday, and his status Wednesday is precautionary, but if he's unable to play, it'd be a significant blow to the team's defense.
