Ravens' Roquan Smith Ruled Out for Monday Night Game Against Chargers

The All-Pro linebacker will miss his first game due to injury since 2019, leaving Baltimore's struggling defense without its leader.

Roquan Smith, the NFL's co-leader in tackles with 110, will not play against the Chargers due to a hamstring injury sustained in Week 11.
This marks Smith's first injury-related absence since 2019, when he ended the season on injured reserve with a torn pectoral muscle.
The Ravens plan to replace Smith's presence on the field by committee, with Malik Harrison and Chris Board expected to step up in his absence.
Baltimore's defense has struggled this season, ranking 26th in total yards allowed and last in passing yards allowed per game.
The Ravens, currently 7-4, face a challenging matchup against a Chargers offense led by Justin Herbert and a strong rushing attack.
