Ravens' Steve Smith: Will begin training camp on PUP

Smith (Achilles) will start training camp on the PUP list, Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports.

Analysis:

This is an unsurprising move as it has already been announced that the veteran Smith would not be playing in the preseason. He suffered his Achilles injury on Nov. 1, and was not able to participate in any offseason workouts. His role with the team this season remains uncertain until he is able to display he has recovered from the serious injury. However, the Ravens have relatively thin depth in their receiving department, so he will have plenty of opportunity to produce if he can get healthy.
