Baltimore Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith, who suffered a ruptured Achilles in Sunday's win over the Detroit Lions, has been suspended four games for a violation of the league's performance enhancing drug policy.
ESPN's Adam Schefter reported the news, noting Smith was appealing the suspension but will now withdraw the appeal following his injury.
The 29-year-old will forfeit game checks for the Ravens' final four games of the regular season. He had played throughout the campaign despite pain in his Achilles, recording 28 tackles and three interceptions.
"He has played at an All-Pro level this year," Ravens coach John Harbaugh told reporters.
