No excuse still.with older/injured players often it might be that they are happy to take a potential 4 game suspension if it keeps them on the field for the rest of the year - that's how i feel jimmy's would have been
Could have been for a lot of reasons. Could have been using a while for the reasons a lot of players do. Who knows?I imagine Jimmy was using an illegal substance to play through the injury
Sucks he went down and hope he comes back strong next year.
Not going to judge the PED thing until we find out what what it was that he was using.
I would imagine you're exactly right. 200k is nothing. Who knows though maybe Ozzie has his eye on a marquee practice squad special teamer?Jimmy goes six years without using a PED and then in the one year he's got a perpetual injury, he gets busted for them. Ravens and Jimmy are highly confident the suspension might get thrown out all together, so I mean, this almost certainly had to do with the injury.
I wish the Ravens would put $200K behind them (really, that is an absurdly small amount of money) and appeal if they're confident they can win and get a speedy reply because if Jimmy appealed and lost this week, the four games remaining serve the suspension. If they appeal and lose next week, but make the playoffs, he still serves those four games during that time period.
I mean, I suppose they're concerned with the process dragging out and coming into play next season potentially, but I REALLY hope that's the reason and not $200K.

May end up being something dumb like happened with Haloti. In any case Smith can come out and state exactly what he was using and why if he thinks it will clear his rep. It doesn’t seem it would really be beneficial to anyone to appeal.another reason why the ravens no longer want to appeal on jimmy's behalf: they get a cap credit of nearly $200k back
WE GONNA #EATGREEDY WITH THIS 200K!He’s got the perfect guy in mind

i guess they will activate Jaylen Hill now for games. I hope his hamstring is completely healed, because I like what I saw in preseason from him.
Yeah, I don't recall him being on the injury report recently.i feel like it is healed given that he played a bit in the slot before canady was activated
