Steve Smith confident the worst injury of career won't delay start of season

COLUMBIA, Md. -- Steve Smith called his torn Achilles the toughest injury of his 15-year NFL career and acknowledged that he remains in the early stages of his recovery.

But the Baltimore Ravens wide receiver seemed confident Monday that he would be ready for the start of the regular season. In fact, he poked fun at his targeted return to the field.

"In my little world, I would love to be 100 percent and absolutely do nothing in training camp," Smith said Monday after a free autograph session at Champ Sports, where he was promoting Under Armour.
