Ravens WR Steve Smith to play after missing 2 games with ankle injury

— -- BALTIMORE -- Baltimore Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith Sr. will play Sunday against the rival Pittsburgh Steelers after missing the past two games with an injured ankle.

Before the injury, Smith was the Ravens' leader in catches (24) and receiving yards (281) in the first four weeks of the season.

Smith is one of four Pro Bowl players returning from injury for the Ravens. Linebackers Terrell Suggs and C.J. Mosley and guard Marshal Yanda are the others. First-round pick Ronnie Stanley also comes back to start at left tackle after missing the last four games.

Smith, 37, hopes to boost a struggling Ravens offense that ranks 26th in the NFL in scoring (19.0 points per game). Joe Flacco hasn't thrown a touchdown pass in 11 quarters.

In early warm-ups, Smith didn't show any effects of the injury when he ran and cut. He was officially listed as questionable on the injury report.

With a win over the Steelers (4-3), the Ravens (3-4) can tie Pittsburgh atop the AFC North standings.
