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.

Leivovich: On the swamp and racket of The Big Game and bad government
"It's the best book ever written about the modern National Football League," so says Nestor about Big Game. And that's why we love having its author Mark Leibovich back on when his New England Patriots proudly return to Baltimore for some playoff knockout style football. Now with The Atlantic, the longtime political insider for The New York Times is also heavily immersed in Trumplandia and weighs in on the ongoing Epstein saga and the usual D.C. shenanigans.
Gordy pushes the beat to another Grammy nomination
Two-time Grammy Award winning percussionist and Marylander M.B. Gordy returns from Los Angeles to tell Nestor about the beat of his latest – and fourth – Grammy nomination with "Seven Seasons" in the Classical Compendium category.
Hail, hail Halethorpe! A Honey of a spot to shoot pool, watch the game and taste fresh flavor
This stands as a warning to anyone who invites Nestor by their place for the Maryland Crab Cake Tour: you're an invite and a taste away because he's en route to meet more great local folks who want to promote their business. Owner Soo Mi Kang of Honey's in Halethorpe invited us over and must've known that offering "Crabby Toast" would invoke the legend of Charles Markwood Eckman. Competitive billiards, great food and the game is always on at this old-school joint on the south side.
