Ravens running back Lorenzo Taliaferro, slated for a larger role in the offense as the primary backup to starter Justin Forsett this season, suffered a sprained MCL Saturday night against the Philadelphia Eagles and will be out several weeks, coach John Harbaugh said.

Eagles cornerback Byron Maxwell's interception of Flacco's pass late in the first quarter not only cost them Hurst, but running back Lorenzo Taliaferro as well. Taliaferro ended up underneath Maxwell and Hurst on the sideline tackle, and got up slowly after the play.

Signing Jimmy Smith to a contract extension was a risk worth taking for Ravens.

The Ravens have struck a long-term deal with veteran cornerback Jimmy Smith, an agreement that locks up one of the top young defensive backs in the NFL.
