Latest
Smith’s current injury designation is shown in the live status box above, which updates automatically from the official NFL injury report. He was added back to Philadelphia’s report Questionable with the same hamstring on Thursday, Oct. 22, was downgraded to Out and missed Philadelphia’s Week 7 home game against Dallas, then was ruled Out on Friday’s report for the Eagles’ Week 8 Sunday night game at Washington.
Smith missed the Week 4 game against the Rams on Oct. 4 after sitting out practice all week. It is the same muscle group that cost him three weeks of training camp after an Aug. 3 injury. In Week 2 at Tennessee he caught 10 passes for 117 yards.
Fantasy Action: Smith has been ruled Out for Sunday’s Week 9 home game against the Giants with the hamstring, so bench him. Darius Cooper tops Philadelphia’s healthy receivers, with Makai Lemon the PPR option behind him; Dontayvion Wicks and Britain Covey are also out, and Joe Milton starts at quarterback with Jalen Hurts on injured reserve.
