The door is open for Steve Smith Sr. to return in 2016, but a decision hasn’t been made.
Head Coach John Harbaugh spoke with Smith after Sunday’s 29-26 win over the Chargers, then again on Monday. He said he hasn’t gotten a final answer on whether Smith will retire.
Before the season began, Smith announced that this, his 15th year, would be his last. However, he’s under contract for one more season and may not want to end his career due to an injury.
After watching the 36-year-old Smith yet again excel while seemingly having so much fun, there were questions as to whether he would change his mind.
