Baltimore Ravens cornerback Lardarius Webb has revealed that he is slowly recovering from his knee injury, but not quite as quickly as he would have liked.

Webb said that he was hoping both he and new signing wide receiver Steve Smith would be able to recover from their respective injuries in time to take on each other in training.

"I was trying to get my legs back under me and get my knees right and get back to the flow and speed of the game. I did okay, not as good as I wanted to.

"With me going against him every day, with how he practices and the way he plays, his attitude about the game, is going to make me 100% better. I love the matchup. I can't wait to meet him. It's going to be big."

Webb has spent five years at the Ravens since being drafted in 2009.
