Smith (ankle) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough.
EDGE Analysis
Smith got rolled up on in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals when he served as a lead blocker on a screen pass to Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell. Afterward, Smith was seen with a walking boot on his right foot while using crutches, which continued into Monday. It's thus no surprise that he's focusing on rehab versus practice to kick off Week 18 prep, especially with two more opportunities to mix into drills to come. The Eagles still have a chance to win the NFC East, so Smith likely will do everything in his power to be available Sunday at the Giants.

Smith (ankle) was on crutches and wearing a walking boot Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.
EDGE Analysis
An earlier report Monday stated that Smith is dealing with only a mild ankle sprain, but the fact that he's still using crutches and a walking boot may suggest otherwise. Head coach Nick Sirianni said "We'll see" in response to a question about the wideout's availability to suit up Sunday against the Giants, so there is clearly some uncertainty about Smith's status for that contest. The Eagles can still win the NFC East with a Week 18 win and some help, so Smith will likely be on the field for the matchup if he's physically capable of playing.

Smith is likely only dealing with a mild ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was spotted using both crutches and a walking boot after injuring his foot Sunday, and he is set to undergo more tests Monday. However, early indications are his injury is not serious. With the Eagles playing to win the NFC East title in Week 18, expect the team to be very cautious with the wideout during practice this week in an effort to make sure he's on the field Sunday against the Giants.

Smith was spotted on crutches with a walking boot on his right foot following Sunday's 35-31 loss to the Cardinals, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith may have suffered the injury when he served as the lead blocker for Kenneth Gainwell on a screen in the fourth quarter of Sunday's game. After the play, Smith had difficulty putting weight on his right foot, visited the sideline tent and then went to the locker room. Prior to his exit, he hauled in three of five passes for 30 yards. It's unclear if he's in danger of missing any time, but the Eagles or coach Nick Sirianni likely will touch on Smith's status in due time.

Smith caught four of five targets for 79 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 33-25 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
The third-year wideout was on the other end of a 36-yard TD toss from Jalen Hurts in the second quarter to account for much of his production. Smith has found pay dirt three times in the last five games, posting a 30-404-3 line on 39 targets over that stretch, and he'll look to keep rolling Week 17 against the Cardinals.

Smith (knee) doesn't have a designation for Monday's contest against the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
Despite logging just one limited practice (Saturday) during Week 16 prep, Smith will play through his knee issue and avoid missing the first game of his three-year career. He confirmed as much to Zach Berman of The Athletic earlier Saturday, saying, "If I can go, I'm going to go." Smith thus will be facing a Giants defense Monday that has allowed the sixth-most catches (195) to opposing wide receivers in 14 games this season.

Smith (knee) returned to practice Saturday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was unable to participate in either of the team's first two sessions of the week leading up to Monday's matchup against the Giants. He's reportedly received extensive treatment on his bone bruise and is pushing hard to suit up for the game. Smith's status could come down to a game-time call as a result, but it was certainly a positive that he was able to get back on the practice field.

Smith (knee) isn't slated to practice Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has now been a spectator for both of the Eagles' first two Week 16 practices, so he'll likely need to log some on-field reps Saturday to inspire more confidence in his chances of playing Monday versus the Giants. If Smith ends up missing his first game of the season Monday, the Eagles would likely turn to a three-man rotation of Quez Watkins, Olamide Zaccheaus and Julio Jones to pick up reps in two- and three-receiver sets alongside No. 1 wideout A.J. Brown.

Smith was held out of practice Thursday due to a knee injury.
EDGE Analysis
Per Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia, Smith was donning street clothes during the portion of Thursday's session open to the media, and the reason for his absence now is known. There's been no word whether Smith is in danger of sitting out Week 16, but his status bears watching as the Eagles prepare for Monday's game against the Giants.

Smith secured all five targets for 50 yards in the Eagles' 20-17 loss to the Seahawks on Monday night.
EDGE Analysis
Smith finished tied with A.J. Brown for the team lead in receptions while checking in second to his teammate in receiving yards. The speedster mostly was contained on the night after posting at least 73 receiving yards in each of his previous four contests, but he could have a good opportunity to boost his production back up in a Week 16 Christmas Day home matchup versus the Giants' inconsistent secondary.
