OWINGS MILLS, Md. — For the fourth consecutive week, the Ravens have listed linebacker Ray Lewis as questionable on their final injury report despite the veteran being highly unlikely to play.
Kicker Billy Cundiff was given the same designation and is considered a game-time decision after he suffered a calf injury earlier in the week. He is considered a game-time decision, and veteran Shayne Graham will reportedly be signed should Cundiff be unable to play against Indianapolis.
Center Matt Birk returned to practice on a limited basis on Friday and is listed as probable after he missed two practices this week with the sprained shoulder he suffered in the Ravens’ win over the Browns last Sunday.
Rookie cornerback Jimmy Smith was a new addition to Friday’s injury report as he was limited with what’s listed as a thigh ailment. However, the first-round pick is listed as probable for Sunday’s game.
Cornerback Chris Carr will miss his third straight game with a back injury, continuing an injury-plagued season after the veteran had not missed a game in his first six NFL seasons.
