Smith (hamstring) practiced in a limited fashion Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring issue, Smith was spotted taking part in the team stretch and eventually hauled in some catches during individual drills, all the while wearing a compression sleeve on his lower right leg, according to Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Smith's return to drills Thursday is a positive sign as the Eagles gear up for Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but he may need to get back to all activity Friday in order to avoid a Week 7 designation.

Smith (hamstring) participated in Thursday's practice, Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's activity level Thursday won't be known until the Eagles post their second Week 7 injury report, but he appears to be taking a step in the right direction after sitting out Wednesday due to a hamstring issue.

Smith didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
Smith previously tended to hamstring and thigh injuries during Week 3 prep, so he's no stranger to the first of those health concerns on the season. Despite also coming down with an illness prior to Week 4 action, he's barely missed any snaps on a weekly basis en route to a 28-334-2 line on 45 targets through six games. Smith will have two more chances this week to log some reps before the Eagles potentially tag him with a designation for Sunday's showdown with the Dolphins.

Smith finished with five receptions on 11 targets for 44 yards in Sunday's 20-14 loss to the Jets.
EDGE Analysis
Quarterback Jalen Hurts was determined to get one of his top receivers the ball after the pair of Eagles connected just once in Week 5. Smith struggled with his catch efficiency for the second week in a row after catching 76 percent of his targets over the previous four games. The 24-year-old carries a solid 28/334/2 receiving line through six weeks, but most of that production came in his hot two-game start to the season. Smith should still make most starting fantasy lineups in Week 7 despite his recent slump, as the matchup against Miami could produce several big fantasy scores on Sunday Night Football.

Smith was held to one reception on five targets for five yards in Sunday's 23-14 win over the Rams.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was the odd man out Sunday with A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert each contributing 100-yard games to help the Eagles stay undefeated. Smith has cooled off in recent weeks following a hot start to the season, averaging just four receptions and 37 yards over his last three contests. The 2021 first-round selection proved to be streaky as a rookie when he finished with 1,196 yards and seven touchdowns, so fantasy managers should not fret over the wideout's recent struggles. Smith could be primed for a bounce-back performance against the Jets next Sunday if top wideout A.J. Brown has his hands full with New York's shutdown corner Sauce Gardner in Week 6.

Smith caught seven of nine targets for 78 yards in Sunday's 34-31 overtime win over the Commanders.
EDGE Analysis
A.J. Brown was the receiving star for Philly with two long TDs en route to 175 yards, but Smith posted strong numbers of his own as he continues to show excellent chemistry with Jalen Hurts. Smith has caught at least four passes in every game so far this season, and he could be busy again in a possible Week 5 barnburner against the Rams.

Smith (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against Washington.
EDGE Analysis
As expected, following his Friday return to practice after missing one day. Smith was a limited participant to close out the week but should be ready for a full workload come Sunday.

Smith (illness) is practicing Friday, Josh Tolentino of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
The quick return after one missed practice suggests Smith isn't dealing with a serious illness and will be ready for Sunday's game against Washington. He may even avoid a designation on the final injury report Friday afternoon.

Smith didn't practice Thursday due to an illness.
EDGE Analysis
Fortunately for Smith, he's come down with an illness in the middle of the week, giving him a few days to get back to normal before the Eagles' upcoming matchup with the Commanders on Sunday. His status for Week 4 may gain some clarity when Friday's practice report is posted, but if he ends up limited or sidelined this weekend, the likes of Quez Watkins (hamstring), Olamide Zaccheaus and Britain Covey (hamstring) could see increased reps on offense behind top wide receiver A.J. Brown.

Smith caught four of five targets for 28 yards in Monday's 25-11 win over Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Smith failed to reach 40 receiving yards for the first time since Week 9 of last season. After opening the 2023 campaign on a two-game touchdown streak, the 2021 first-round pick took a back seat while A.J. Brown posted a season-high 131 receiving yards and No. 3 wide receiver Olamide Zaccheaus chipped in a 34-yard touchdown. Smith's unlikely to be held down for long, and a Week 4 home game against a Washington defense that just gave up 37 points to the Bills offers a nice opportunity to get back on track.
