Smith (concussion) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith sustained a concussion during this past Sunday's win at New Orleans, adding to an already banged-up receiving corps headlined by A.J. Brown (hamstring), who has missed the last two games. Meanwhile, Britain Covey (shoulder), Ainias Smith (ankle) and Jacob Harris (concussion) are on injured reserve. If both Smith and Brown go down as non-participants for a second consecutive day, they'll have just one more chance to mix into drills this week, which wouldn't be a great sign for Smith as he makes his way through the protocol for head injuries.

Smith (concussion) is not participating in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith's progression through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol isn't yet far enough along for him to resume practicing in any capacity. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) also not practicing Wednesday, it's possible Philadelphia's top two wideouts could both be unavailable for Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers. The Eagles will benefit from a Week 5 bye after taking on Tampa Bay, which could lead the team to take a more cautious approach to player's recoveries, due to the extra week of rest coming up. In any case, Smith will need to gain full medical clearance before being eligible to return to game action. Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and practice squad player Parris Campbell will have to lead Philadelphia's wide receiver room if Smith and Brown are unable to go Week 4.

Smith won't return to Sunday's game in New Orleans due to a concussion.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got a concussion check after he stayed on the turf for some time at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. Now that a head injury has been confirmed for Smith, he'll check out of Week 3 with seven catches (on 10 targets) for 79 yards. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) inactive and Britain Covey (shoulder) ruled out of Sunday's contest, the Eagles' receiving corps has been whittled down to Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell.

Smith is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.

EDGE Analysis

Smith remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. If he ends up entering the concussion protocol, he'll be the second Eagles wide receiver to join A.J. Brown (hamstring) as out after Britain Covey sustained a shoulder injury earlier Sunday. For the time being, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy options at the position available to QB Jalen Hurts.

Smith recorded seven catches (on 10 targets) for 76 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.

EDGE Analysis

Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver after fellow starter A.J. Brown (hamstring) was ruled out prior to Monday's narrow defeat. The latter is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in Friday's practice, opening up a prime window for Smith to shine as the No. 1 option in Philadelphia. Smith's next opportunity will come in a road matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Smith is expected to serve as the top option in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts in Monday's game against the Falcons due to A.J. Brown (hamstring) being ruled out for the contest, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Though No. 3 wideout Jahan Dotson should benefit the most in terms of an increase in snaps while Brown is out Monday, Smith has a good chance at clearing double-digit targets in the absence of the three-time Pro Bowler. Since joining the Eagles ahead of the 2022 season, Brown has yet to miss a game, so Monday will mark the first time that Smith has had a chance to serve as Philadelphia's clear No. 1 receiver since his 2021 rookie campaign.

Smith brought in seven of his eight targets for 84 yards in Friday's 34-29 win over Green Bay.

EDGE Analysis

Friday's tilt at Corinthians Arena in Brazil featured multiple strong fantasy scores for both sides after 63 points were put on the board. Smith finished with Philadelphia's fourth-highest score for fantasy purposes after all seven of his receptions failed to cross the goal line. The 25-year-old wideout hasn't eclipsed seven touchdowns in any of his three seasons as a pro, but he has proven to be a reliable target opposite A.J. Brown (5-119-1 on Friday) that fantasy managers can rely on for consistent production, especially for those in PPR formats. Smith will look for that first score of the season in a home matchup against the Falcons in Week 2.

Smith didn't play in Thursday's 14-13 preseason win over the Patriots.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has yet to appear in the 2024 preseason, which is also the case for Philadelphia's other key skill players. After signing a three-year, $75 million extension in April, Smith will look to build on a strong first three NFL regular seasons in which he averaged 1,059 receiving yards and 6.3 TDs per year. If Smith plays in the preseason finale against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 24, it likely won't be for more than a few drives.

Smith agreed to terms Monday to a three-year, $75 million extension with the Eagles, Ian Rapaport of NFL Network reports

EDGE Analysis

Smith's extension reportedly includes $51 million guaranteed, though the exact terms remain to be disclosed. That keeps the young wideout linked to Philly through the 2028 season, with Zach Bergman of The Athletic reporting that the team is additionally exercising Smith's fifth-year option. Smith remains in a plus fantasy situation alongside fellow WR A.J. Brown as one of the go-to passing options for quarterback Jalen Hurts along with tight end Dallas Goedert and new running back Saquon Barkley.

Smith said in a Feb. 8 interview that he isn't too worried about a contact extension, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports. "It's all in God's hands," Smith said. "At the end of the day, extension or not, I'm going to have to come in and do what I have to do."

EDGE Analysis

While eligible for a contract extension following his third NFL season, Smith is almost certain to end up under team control through 2025 via the fifth-year option on his rookie contract. The Eagles will need to officially pick up Smith's fifth-year option by May 2. In Smith's case, he'll be earning a fully guaranteed $15.59 million for the 2025 season, which is well below what he would receive on the open market. A holdout would be more likely in 2025 than 2024, though it isn't entirely impossible that he sits out training camp this summer if he's frustrated with his initial extension talks with the Eagles.
