Now Steve Smith Sr. is hurt, slamming the turf with his hand. Immediately pointed to right foot. He's in agony.

He didn’t put any weight on his foot as he was helped off the field.
Ravens players are taking a knee around Smith. He's putting no weight on his right foot as he's carried off with towel over his head.

Smith said he was going to retire at the end of this season, so that might have been the final play of his career. He has been listed as doubtful to return and no confirmation on the injury has been made.
Steve Smith is doubtful to return with a foot injury.

Sad to see him ride off into the sunset like that because Smith epitomized a tough wide receiver.
Surely Smith is a future Hall of Famer.
