Smith is not practicing Tuesday due to a groin injury, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith is present at Tuesday's practice in street clothes, per Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia, but he and fellow star wideout A.J. Brown (hamstring) are not practicing. While neither Smith nor Brown appear to be dealing with any sort of issue that could threaten their Week 1 availability, the WR tandem figures to be held out of Friday's preseason finale against the Jets if they're at anything less than 100 percent -- assuming any of Philadelphia's starters are given the green light to suit up versus New York.

Smith (back) is practicing Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had been out of practice since Monday while dealing with a tight back, though by the end of the week he was able to run with trainers and warm up with teammates. It appears the star wideout now is feeling well enough to return to practice, though it's not clear if he'll be limited at all. Regardless, there doesn't appear to be any reason for concern about his availability for the start of the regular season.

Smith (back) is missing a fourth straight practice Friday, but he's progressed to warming up with teammates and running with trainers, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
He first missed practice Monday, with reports attributing it to back soreness or a back contusion. It sounds like Smith will be back in practice soon enough, occupy his usual role as the No. 2 receiver in Philadelphias's narrowly concentrated offense.

Smith will miss Monday's practice with back tightness, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
It's the first report of any health/availability issue for Smith this year. Including playoffs, he's played 72 of Philadelphia's 77 games since the team drafted him in 2021, with a pair of Week 18 rest absences and three games missed due to injuries (all last season). Smith likely will be back at practice before long.

Smith brought in four of five targets for 69 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 40-22 win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith had enjoyed his fair share of success against Steve Spagnuolo's Chiefs defenses in the previous two meetings, including the Eagles' narrow Super Bowl LVII loss to Kansas City two years prior when he'd recorded seven receptions for 100 yards. Therefore, Smith's team-leading yardage total Sunday wasn't exactly a surprise, and he got to that number with a back-breaking 46-yard touchdown grab on a perfectly thrown ball by Jalen Hurts late in the third quarter. Smith was particularly consistent down the stretch of the regular season and throughout the postseason, posting a combined 39-470-4 line on 44 targets from Week 15 on. Smith enters the second season of a $75 million extension in 2025, so he'll once again project as a key component of the offense as the Eagles look to win back-to-back titles.

Smith (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
Smith followed up no activity during the first week of Super Bowl prep with three consecutive capped sessions this week due to a hamstring injury. Despite the limitations along the way, he's cleared for Sunday's game, looking to build upon the 12-121-0 line on 12 targets that he's accrued so far in three playoff contests.

Smith (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
After sitting out the first week of Super Bowl prep due to a hamstring injury, Smith now has logged back-to-back capped sessions to begin this week, giving him only one more chance to get back to full participation or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not that comes to pass.

Smith (hamstring) was limited at Wednesday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was held out of all drills last week due to a hamstring injury, after which he didn't receive a game designation on last Friday's practice report for Super Bowl LIX. With some activity under his belt to begin this week, he appears to be ramping up his activity level in advance Sunday's game against the Chiefs, but it remains to be seen if the Eagles tag him with a designation this time around.

Smith (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs.
EDGE Analysis
After the first week of preparation for the upcoming Super Bowl, Smith hasn't participated in any drills due to a hamstring injury, but the issue currently won't be a hindrance more than a week out from the big game. Nonetheless, he may endure practice restrictions next week once the Eagles arrive in New Orleans, so his status bears watching over the next nine days.

Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles estimated Smith as a DNP on their first injury report of Super Bowl prep due to a hamstring issue, but he still will have four more chances to get back on the field and prove his health ahead of the team's matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9. In three playoff games so far, he's tallied exactly four catches on each occasion on his way to a 12-121-0 line on 12 targets.
