Smith claims he played with a tear in his groin the entire season but got used to it. He's started rehab and has his sights set on improving on his 50-catch, 841-yard, seven-touchdown rookie campaign. 'Joe [Flacco] and I are still getting better and I'm excited about what is going on here,' said Smith. 'I've got to do a lot of stretching, my hamstring has gotten tight. Last year, I couldn't open up and go get the ball as well as I'm used to. But my expectations are greater than they were a year ago. I'm ready to step up and play a bigger role.[/left][/size][/font][/color]

What a beast. Can't wait to see what he does next year. Hope you get well soon Torrey!!

A double sports hernia, iirc.

Looking around on the interwebs, it says a 6-8 week recovery is normal. So, all things willing, he should be good to go in no time.

I truly believe Torrey will be our #1 WR. I love this kid's attitude and everything else about him. A full offseason of OTAs and camp will make him into even more of a beast. Can't wait.

I'm not worried about the surgery. He'll be just fine.

[izvoodoo]

This just makes him more endearing to me.

I think he got it when he was [url="http://www.baltimoreravens.com/media_library/Videos/2011/08/RAW_Footage_Of_Tuesdays_Earthquake.aspx?id=ca3e63396aed40778070e6c3cfa3b170"]running away from the earthquake[/url]

What a beast. This guy could be an absolute monster next year, fully healthy and a proper camp with Joe.

[Gordo52]

His numbers will only go up. I'm excited about him & Joe's future.

I thought he looked a little slow. He was still in focus.

We might just have the toughest WR corp in the league.

[Purple_ICE 81]

He had a bilateral herniorrhapy, and because he is an athlete it was probably just some scoping really which is like a month long at most recovery time...trust me Im a doctor haha

But I dont think he looked like he was hurt at all, I guess he played hurt but that just shows you how strong he is.

[Milton145]

Makes me love Torrey even more.

If you see Torrey in the woods fighting a bear, don't save him. Save the bear.

Is it the same bear that wanted to hang out with Ray Lewis?

I don't know anything about nothin': Could this injury have been part of the reason it looked like Torrey was limping around a lot last season? I thought it was cramps, but if it was this hernia thing then that could be fixed with the surgery.

It looked to me like Torrey kept hurting his leg, so that would still be cramps. Oh, well. He played well through it this last year, so it must not have been that bad.

[K-Dog]

wow, who knew?

He is going to be even more awesome next season. Work on the hands a little bit and eat some bananas to cut down on the cramping.
