Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.
EDGE Analysis
Smith took a hard hit in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Saints and hasn't practiced since. He has a good chance to avoid multiple game absences, as the Eagles are on bye Week 5 before hosting the Browns in Week 6 (Sunday, Oct. 13).

Smith (concussion) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
EDGE Analysis
A third consecutive missed practice makes Smith unlikely to play this Sunday at Tampa Bay. He entered concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 3 win over New Orleans.

Smith (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Smith and fellow WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) haven't logged any on-field work so far this week, leaving both trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Friday's injury report could clear up any questions about Smith heading into the weekend, and if he sits out due to the concussion that he suffered this past Sunday in New Orleans, the Eagles' receiving corps would be thinned out, especially if Brown also is inactive. With Britain Covey (shoulder) going on IR earlier this week, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and practice-squad members Parris Campbell, Danny Gray, Kyle Philips, John Ross and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint would be the candidates to fill in at wide receiver for the Eagles in Week 4.

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.
