Smith (knee) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Colts, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith and A.J. Brown (ankle) both were limited practice participants Wednesday and Thursday before upgrading to full participation Friday. They avoid injury designations and thus are set to do battle with a tough group of cornerbacks led by Stephon Gilmore.

Smith (knee) was a limited practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith logged a second consecutive capped session to begin Week 11 prep, as did fellow wide receiver A.J. Brown (ankle). There's been no indication that Smith is in danger of sitting out Sunday at Indianapolis due to a knee issue, but Friday's injury report may provide a clearer picture of his upcoming availability.

Smith was limited at Wednesday's walk-through practice due to a knee issue.
EDGE Analysis
Playing alongside a hobbled A.J. Brown (ankle) on Monday versus the Commanders, Smith had his most productive performance in weeks (6-39-1 receiving line on eight targets). However, Smith is now tending to an injury of his own. As such, the statuses of both wide receivers should be watched as the week goes on to get a sense of their availability for Sunday's contest at Indianapolis.

Smith caught six of eight targets for 39 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 32-21 loss to the Commanders. He also lost a fumble.
EDGE Analysis
Playing on his 24th birthday, Smith gave himself a reason to celebrate in the third quarter, finding the end zone from 11 yards out. Back in the first, Smith drew a 30-yard pass interference penalty to set up Dallas Goedert's touchdown on the ensuing play. The second-year wide receiver appeared to hurt his hand on the play and spent some time in the blue medical tent but rejoined the game shortly. While Smith enjoyed a productive night, the Eagles ultimately came away with their first loss of the season. His fumble came on the final play, as Smith's attempt at a lateral was scooped up by a defender and returned for a Washington touchdown. Smith's inconsistent usage will make him a risky Week 11 fantasy option against the stout Colts secondary, though his ceiling remains high in the high-flying Eagles offense.

Smith brought in both his targets for 22 yards in the Eagles' 29-17 win over the Texans on Thursday night.
EDGE Analysis
Smith put together another quiet performance while Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown set the pace for the pass-catching corps. The second-year speedster actually recorded all his yardage on one of his two catches, and he's now been under 50 receiving yards in three straight games. Smith's 11.1 yards per reception also represents a notable drop from the 14.3 figure he put up as a rookie, but he'll aim to exploit a favorable matchup against a Commanders defense that's given up plenty of big plays this season when he faces Washington in a Week 10 matchup in Monday night, Nov. 14.

Smith recorded five receptions on eight targets for 23 yards in Sunday's 35-13 win over the Steelers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was heavily involved in the offense, as his eight targets were good for second on the team. However, he was used almost exclusively in short areas of the field -- in direct contrast to teammate A.J. Brown. Smith's production remains inconsistent, as he has at least 80 receiving yards in three of seven games this season, but he has only 84 yards combined across the remaining four contests.

Smith hauled in all five of his targets for 44 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 26-17 win over the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Smith finished with a nearly identical line to fellow starter A.J. Brown, as both receivers were able to eat despite Jalen Hurts finishing with a new season low of 155 passing yards. The talented sophomore has been on a roll since his zero-point dud back in Week 1, accruing a receiving line of 33/397/2 for fantasy managers over his last five games. Smith will continue to be a must-start wideout when Philadelphia returns from its bye week to take on the Steelers on Oct. 30.

Smith caught 10 passes for 87 yards on 11 targets against Arizona on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
A player as explosive as Smith isn't used to grinding out small amounts of yardage underneath, but he was highly effective doing so in this game and played a crucial role in helping the Eagles hold on to a 20-17 win on the road. While it's rare that the Eagles passing game can support all of Smith, A.J. Brown and Dallas Goedert for big receiving production in a single game, Smith has proven repeatedly that he can put up big numbers when the usage is there. Smith and the Eagles face Dallas in Week 6.

Smith (back) had three receptions (four targets) for 17 yards in Sunday's 29-21 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Jalen Hurts struggled from the pocket Sunday (204 yards, no touchdowns and one interception), resulting in quiet fantasy game for Smith. The 23-year-old was dealing with a minor back issue during practice this week, but he was cleared prior to kickoff and did not appear to be physically limited. Smith will look to bounce back next Sunday against an Arizona secondary that entered Week 4 allowing the third-most passing yards to opposing offenses.

Smith (back) practiced in full Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After a limited session Wednesday due to a back issue, Smith handled every practice rep one day later, setting him up to serve as one of the Eagles' starting wide receivers alongside A.J. Brown on Sunday versus the Jaguars. While Smith was blanked on four targets in the season opener, he's since gathered in 15 of 19 targets for 249 yards and one touchdown over the last two games.
