Preston: Steve Smith Sr., like every Ravens player not named Joe Flacco, is expendable

Ravens Insider Jeff Zrebiec discussses the Ravens placing Michael Campanaro on injury reserve, the status of wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. (back) and the trade for Rams wide receiver Chris Givens.

The recent back injury to Pro Bowl wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. is not a death sentence for the Ravens.

If the injury were to Joe Flacco, then it would be different, because the NFL is a quarterback-driven league. If Flacco was out for the season, break out the tissues and start making vacation plans for the first week in January.

But Smith is just a receiver.
