OWINGS MILLS — Troy Smith didn’t practice again due to tonsil problems, and the former Heisman Trophy quarterback is expected to be a game-time decision for Thursday night’s preseason finale against the Atlanta Falcons.

Behind the scenes, there have been indications that Smith plans to play as his health is improving with the use of antibiotics even though there’s still concern about whether he will be well enough to run the offense and call the plays because of a weakened voice.

Rookie first-round pick Joe Flacco took every snap in practice for the second consecutive day, boosting the chances that he may have to play the entire game as the lone healthy quarterback if Smith doesn’t recover in time.

Tampa Bay has 6 QBs. They won't be able to hold on to all of them. Also, Miami has John Beck who already knows Cam Cameron's system. He may be getting cut too.

Another first-round bust who can't seem to put things together now has to deal with injurie concerns. Sad story.

Shoulda traded him for that 7th round pick when they had the chance haha

They'll still try to find a way to start him even if he's on IR

The coaches we're already leaning towards Smith to start to begin with. Now they won't have a choice. It's a shame really, Smith wins by default and Boller is on his way out of town (it's his last year on his contract).

He is still going to receive a second opinion, but it's likely he's headed for IR.
