Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Torrey Smith’s status for Sunday’s game is uncertain following the death of his younger brother.
Smith’s 19-year-old brother Tevin Chris Jones was reportedly killed in a motorcycle accident early Sunday morning according to reports from ESPN.
Smith reportedly wants to suit up for the Ravens on Sunday, but the team will leave the choice in his hands should he opt to sit out.
“This is devastatingly sad, sad news,” Ravens head coach John Harbaugh told the Washington Post. “Torrey and his family are a close, special family, and our hearts and thoughts reach out to all of them. Our hearts ache today. We pray for Tevin, his mother, Torrey and the rest of the family. God bless Tevin. “Torrey’s priority is his family. We understand that completely.” Smith took to Twitter Sunday morning to break the news.
More to come as the story unfolds.
