EAST RUTHERFORD, N. J. – Ravens cornerback Jimmy Smith left Sunday’s game against the Giants with a concussion suffered during the second quarter.
Smith’s injury added to the Ravens’ growing list of injuries, and left them without their top cover corner in the second half.
Shareece Wright and Will Davis opened the second half as the starting corners, with Tavon Young seeing time in the slot.

However, the Ravens’ secondary immediately missed Smith, and his absence created a greater challenge for them trying to contain Giants wide receivers Odell Beckham Jr. and Victor Cruz.
The Giants marched for a game-tying field goal on their opening drive of the second half - a drive which included a pass interference call against Davis.
Smith will have to clear by the NFL’s concussion protocol procedure this week before he is allowed to return.
After nine seasons in the NFL, former Ravens running back Justin Forsett announced he is retiring on Wednesday.
Over the course of his nine-year career, Forsett played for seven different teams, with his two most productive seasons coming in 2014-15 with the Ravens. In 2014, Forsett had a career-year and was named to the Pro Bowl after a season in which he amassed 1,266 yards on the ground to go along with eight touchdowns.
The following season, Forsett only started 10 games before suffering a broken arm against the St. Louis Rams that ended his season.
Last season, Forsett appeared in just nine games between the Ravens, Broncos and Lions.
Forsett, who was a seventh-round draft pick in 2008, was a great example of a player who wasn't the biggest or fastest, but still found a way to have a long and productive career in the NFL. Right after the 2017 NFL Draft, he penned a letter of encouragement to the current rookies who signed with teams as undrafted free agents.
More Ravens: Heap family asks for kindness after death of their three-year old daughter Holly
Former NFL tight end Todd Heap and his family went through an unimaginable tragedy. Now, they're looking to spread joy.
Police say Heap was moving a truck in the family's driveway on April 14, when he accidentally hit and killed his 3-year-old daughter Holly.
Now, after the outpouring of condolences and sympathy from friends, the Heap family wants to pay it forward.
The family has started the website "hugsfromholly.com" in memory of Holly, who would have turned 4 on Wednesday.
"Holly was known to give the best hugs, and her love for everyone and everything in life was contagious," a statement on the site reads. "Let's spread this joy as we scatter sunshine in Holly's honor on her birthday."
The former Pro Bowl tight end played 12 seasons in the NFL, for the Baltimore Ravens and Arizona Cardinals, before retiring in 2013.
"Smile more," the site reads. "Compliment somebody. Write a kind note. Share treats (or chicken nuggets). Do a free lemonade stand. Leave a bigger tip than usual. Pay for the person behind you in the drive-thru. Donate a book in Holly's honor. Turn up the music and dance ... the list is endless. Be creative!"
The family has also created the hashtag #hugsfromhollyday, and they ask participants to share their acts of kindness and post them on social media.
Hugsfromholly.com also includes an option to make a donation in their daughter's honor to the Baltimore Community Foundation, a group of charities that benefit the Baltimore area.
"Share this! Shout it from the rooftops!" the site continues. "Let's spread kindness and love and make Wednesday a HOLLYday!"
