Smith (hamstring) was present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was absent from Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury, but his return to the field one day later generally is a step in the right direction. Thursday's practice report will reveal the activity levels of both Smith and fellow WR A.J. Brown (knee).

Smith was limited at Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury.
EDGE Analysis
The top of the Eagles' receiving corps has health concerns, with Smith joining A.J. Brown (limited, knee) on the team's first Week 10 practice report. Smith's issue wasn't known prior to Wednesday, while Brown emerged as day-to-day from this past Sunday's win versus the Jaguars. The pair will have two more chances to prove their respective levels of health before Sunday's game at Dallas.

Smith caught four of six targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
EDGE Analysis
Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver following A.J. Brown's (knee) departure in Sunday's win. The 25-year-old Smith was already coming off of a strong fantasy performance prior to his teammate's injury. With Brown's status for next Sunday's tilt against Dallas uncertain, Smith continues to be an excellent fantasy play heading into Week 10.

Smith brought in six of seven targets for 85 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 37-17 win over the Bengals on Sunday.
EDGE Analysis
In the wake of a one-catch Week 7 in which he netted minus-2 receiving yards, Smith obviously had nowhere to go but up Sunday and made good use of his opportunities. The fourth-year speedster finished as the team leader in receptions, receiving yards and targets, with a picturesque over-the-shoulder 45-yard touchdown grab late in the third quarter largely responsible for his successful afternoon. Smith's receiving yardage total was also a season high, and he's now been over 75 receiving yards in four of six games heading into a favorable Week 9 home matchup against a beatable Jaguars secondary.

Smith caught one of two targets for minus-2 yards in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants.
EDGE Analysis
With the Eagles in control almost from the opening kickoff, Jalen Hurts wound up attempting only 14 passes in total on the afternoon, and A.J. Brown was the only receiver to do any damage with a 5-89-1 line on five targets. Smith's disappointing showing could be erased quickly though, and he figures to see much higher volume in a potential Week 8 barn burner against the high-powered Bengals.

Smith caught three of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
EDGE Analysis
While he didn't see much volume in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, Smith made an impact with a 45-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter that sealed the win for the Eagles. The fourth-year wideout has a 24-303-2 line on 32 targets through four contests this season, and he could find pay dirt again in Week 7 versus a Giants team he's had plenty of success against in the past -- in his last five meetings with Philly's NFC East rivals, he has four touchdowns.

Smith cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday, Zach Berman of PHLY reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith has been practicing without limitations coming out of Philadelphia's Week 5 bye, and he has gained clearance from an independent neurologist to suit up, which is the final hurdle he needed to clear in order to play Sunday against the Browns. The star receiver thus will make his return from a concussion suffered Week 3 against the Saints, and the Eagles also will be welcoming back A.J. Brown (hamstring).

Smith (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith continues to practice without limitations this week, which marked his first stretch of on-field work since he sustained a concussion Week 3 at New Orleans. In the meantime, he sat out Week 4 in Tampa Bay and then used the Eagles' Week 5 bye to complete most of the protocol for head injuries. On Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that Smith was in the final phase of the protocol, meaning the wide receiver only needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to return for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Smith (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
EDGE Analysis
Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that Smith is in the final stage of concussion protocol, meaning that he merely needs clearance from an independent neurologist to get the green light for action. Barring any setbacks in his recovery from the concussion, Smith should exit the protocol before the Eagles host the Browns this Sunday. Smith had a two-game run as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver before sitting out the Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers with a concussion, but coming out of a Week 5 bye, he'll move back to second on the depth chart with A.J. Brown (hamstring) putting in a full practice Wednesday to clear the way for his return from a three-game absence.

Smith (concussion) is in line to practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
EDGE Analysis
With the benefit of the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Smith will look to keep his absence to only one game as a result of the concussion that he sustained during a Week 3 win at New Orleans. Wednesday's practice report will reveal how much work he and A.J. Brown (hamstring) were able to handle after both wideouts missed the Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers.
