Oakland Raiders tight end Lee Smith left the game in the second quarter, and has been ruled out with an ankle injury.

In what could be potentially big news, Oakland Raiders tight end and honorary offensive lineman Lee Smith hurt his ankle in the second quarter of the Week 4 contest against the Baltimore Ravens.

It looked bad, and Smith was unable to walk off the field on his own power. Latavius Murray and Derek Carr helped him off the field.

Smith in an incredible blocker, both on run and pass downs. Him missing any time would be a big blow to the offense, so this is certainly a situation to monitor.
