OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- Ravens middle linebacker Roquan Smith wouldn't comment on whether he's been fined by the NFL on Thursday, but said he never intended to hurt Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver Chris Godwin, who sustained a season-ending ankle injury in Baltimore's 41-31 win on Monday night.

The NFL is reviewing Smith's tackle from behind on Godwin to determine whether it contained all the elements of a hip-drop tackle, sources told ESPN's Adam Schefter. Smith could be fined by the league if it's ruled a hip drop tackle, which was made illegal this offseason.
