Injury report
The Ravens released their second injury report of the week, and for the second consecutive day, cornerback Fabian Washington (neck), linebacker Brendon Ayanbadejo (leg contusion) and quarterback Troy Smith (tonsil infection) did not practice.
They were joined by defensive tackle Kelly Gregg (arthroscopic knee surgery) and return specialist Yamon Figurs (hamstring), who sat out.
Left offensive tackle Jared Gaither (ankle) was downgraded from full participation to limited. Defensive end Trevor Pryce (back) was added to the injury report, practicing on a limited basis.
Players who fully participated in practice included cornerbacks Chris McAlister (swollen right knee) and Corey Ivy (sprained right ankle), free safety Ed Reed (nerve impingement), tight end Todd Heap (back contusion), running back Willis McGahee (arthroscopic knee surgery), center Jason Brown (ankle) and fullback Le’Ron McClain (ankle).
On the Texans side, running back Ahman Green (sprained left ankle) did not practice for the second straight day. Three other starters -- defensive tackle Travis Johnson (knee), right offensive tackle Eric Winston (ankle) and left guard Chester Pitts (ankle) -- were limited in practice.

With the game being moved to Monday, will it only show on ch 13? or will it be on ch 9 as well?

I don't want to demean Smith in any way (I was pulling for him to win the starting job), but what kind of illness is this that keeps a once healthy young man out of work for almost a month?!
This smells like one of those July '09 revelations that it was something much more serious, like with Rolle.
The B-More faithful are behind Joe all the way, but I want Smith to be ready. Our O-line was great, but our depth is suspect and opposing D's know to gun for the rookie QB. I'll feel better with a healthy Troy.

Evidently Troy's illness is a rare condition that has only affected 50 people in the past several decades - not your everyday tonsil infection.
