OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Jimmy Smith has missed chunks of games in the past due to injuries and suspension.
This time, in an emotional media session, the Baltimore Ravens' top cornerback acknowledged the month away was unlike his previous absences.
"This one was a little bit different in the sense that I’m a lot older now," Smith said Thursday in his first comments since returning from a four-game suspension. "You get time to kind of recalibrate personally and I guess, everything. You think about life. This time it gave me an opportunity to really sit down and just get that love back, get my body back, get my mind and my personal life in order.
