The Patriots signed Smith to the practice squad Thursday, Doug Kyed of NESN.com reports.

Smith signed with the Texans' practice squad Monday, Aaron Wilson of The Houston Chronicle reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith spent training camp with the Cowboys and failed to make the final roster, so he'll move a few hours south to work as a scout team receiver. The 2015 second-round pick likely won't be activated unless an injury arises on the active roster.

The Cowboys cut Smith on Wednesday.

EDGE Analysis

The 28-year-old only saw action in four games with the Cowboys in 2019, catching five of nine targets for 113 yards and a touchdown. Smith has seen action in 18 games in his career with the Jets and Cowboys, so he could be an intriguing depth option for another team around the league.

Smith finished the 2019 season having caught five of nine targets for 113 yards and a touchdown through four games.

EDGE Analysis

The former Jet hadn't played in an NFL game since 2016, but after a strong showing in training camp and the preseason, Smith began the year on the 53-man roster and showed flashes of his promise as a deep threat by hauling in his second career TD in Week 2. By Week 5, however, he was inactive and didn't see another snap the rest of the season. With both Amari Cooper and Randall Cobb free agents this offseason, there could be openings on the depth chart ahead of him heading into 2020, but Smith would still be a longshot to have significant fantasy value.

Smith (knee) was credited with a full practice Wednesday, Michael Gehlken of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's status is merely an estimation as the Cowboys would not practice until later Wednesday afternoon. While the 27-year-old has recovered from his injury, he is still unlikely to be active Week 17.

Smith picked up a knee injury and is questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was added to the injury report Thursday as a limited participant and his availability for Sunday remains up in the air. The 27-year-old hasn't seen game action since Week 4, so there's a good chance he'll be inactive regardless of his injury status this weekend.

Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's contest against the Eagles, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got a chance early in the season when Michael Gallup was sidelined. That said, Gallup is available Sunday for a third straight game, ensuring Smith is a part of the inactive list. This may be Smith's reality without an absence from Gallup.

Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Jets, David Helman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

EDGE Analysis

This is the second straight game that Smith will be a healthy scratch, despite Randall Cobb (back) being inactive for this contest. The Cowboys' wideout corps will continue to be led by Amari Cooper and Michael Gallup while Tavon Austin is expected to slot in as the No. 3 option.

Smith (coach's decision) is inactive Sunday against the Packers, Calvin Watkins of The Dallas Morning News reports.

EDGE Analysis

After getting heavy usage during Michael Gallup's (knee) two-game absence, Smith will don street clothes for the first time this season. The decision likely stems from hauling in just two of six targets during that stretch.
