Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith may in fact have four broken bones in his back. Now Ed Werder is reporting that Smith has four micro-fractures in his back. However, it will not require surgery and he is considered day to day. The team is going to hold him out for Week 5, but he should not be out much longer than that.
Fantasy Analysis:
Much of his availability will come down to pain management, so don't expect him out long. The team is playing it safe Week 5. However, they now have very few weapons in the passing attack.
