Smith (ankle) hauled in eight of his 12 targets for 148 yards in Monday's 32-9 wild-card round loss to the Buccaneers.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was able to return to the field after missing the last game of the regular season with an ankle injury. Fellow star wideout A.J. Brown (knee) was not as fortunate, missing the Eagles' playoff game entirely after injuring his knee Week 18. Smith took advantage of the situation and gobbled up over a third of Jalen Hurts' 35 pass attempts Monday. The end result was a massive individual effort from Smith in a one-sided affair. The 25-year-old finished the regular season recording his second 1,000-yard campaign in as many years. Smith's best work may be ahead of him in 2024 as he prepares to enter the final year of his rookie contract with Philadelphia.

Smith (ankle) practiced in full Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith sprained his right ankle near the end of the Eagles' Week 17 loss to the Cardinals, which didn't allow him to practice during Week 18 prep or play this past Sunday at the Giants. As the Eagles reconvened Thursday, he relayed to Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia that he'll "be there" for Monday's wild-card contest at Tampa Bay and added, "Count me in." Per Shorr-Parks, Smith then was spotted on the practice field without any sort of wrap on his ankle and eventually put together an uncapped session. Meanwhile, A.J. Brown didn't take part in drills due to the knee injury that he suffered in the regular-season finale, so Smith could be in line for more targets if the former is inhibited or sidelined in Philadelphia's playoff opener.

EDGE Analysis

Prior to the session, Smith told Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia regarding Monday's wild-card contest at Tampa Bay, "I'll be there. Count me in." After spraining his right ankle Week 17 against the Cardinals, Smith didn't practice last Wednesday through Friday before sitting out this past Sunday at the Giants. With some on-field work to kick off this week, he appears to be trending in the right direction as the Eagles prepare for their playoff opener.

Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at the Giants, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith came out of the Week 17 loss to Arizona with an ankle injury and now will miss a game for the first time in his career. He didn't practice this week, and the Eagles didn't have much incentive to push him with their Week 18 result only mattering for playoff position if the Commanders upset the Cowboys while playing at the same time (4:25 p.m. ET kickoff). Eliot Shorr-Parks of Sports Radio 94 WIP Philadelphia "guessed" Friday that the Eagles will play their healthy starters, or at least most of them, but there is some chance of key players being replaced as the game unfolds if Dallas builds a comfortable lead over Washington in the other NFC East contest.

Smith (ankle) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith has missed three straight practices and is in danger of being inactive for the first time in his NFL career when the Eagles play at New York on Sunday. The game can only impact Philadelphia's playoff seed if the Cowboys lose to Washington, and both NFC games will be played at 4:25 p.m. ET on Sunday.

Smith (ankle) officially didn't practice Thursday.

EDGE Analysis

Smith so far has missed Wednesday's walkthrough and Thursday's practice this week, giving him one more opportunity to mix into drills ahead of Sunday's game at the Giants. An ankle injury forced him to depart in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals and also require a walking boot and crutches afterward. As noted by Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer, Smith hasn't missed a contest in his three-year career, so his availability this weekend may come down to a game-time call.

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

EDGE Analysis

One day removed from not taking part in Wednesday's walkthrough, Smith appears as if he'll log a second consecutive absence, which will be confirmed when the Eagles post their second injury report of Week 18 prep later Thursday. He's tending to a right ankle sprain that forced him to use crutches and wear a walking boot after this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals, clouding his availability for Sunday's regular-season finale at the Giants.

Smith (ankle) didn't take part in Wednesday's walkthrough.

EDGE Analysis

Smith got rolled up on in the fourth quarter of this past Sunday's loss to the Cardinals when he served as a lead blocker on a screen pass to Eagles running back Kenneth Gainwell. Afterward, Smith was seen with a walking boot on his right foot while using crutches, which continued into Monday. It's thus no surprise that he's focusing on rehab versus practice to kick off Week 18 prep, especially with two more opportunities to mix into drills to come. The Eagles still have a chance to win the NFC East, so Smith likely will do everything in his power to be available Sunday at the Giants.

Smith (ankle) was on crutches and wearing a walking boot Monday, Ralph Vacchiano of Fox Sports reports.

EDGE Analysis

An earlier report Monday stated that Smith is dealing with only a mild ankle sprain, but the fact that he's still using crutches and a walking boot may suggest otherwise. Head coach Nick Sirianni said "We'll see" in response to a question about the wideout's availability to suit up Sunday against the Giants, so there is clearly some uncertainty about Smith's status for that contest. The Eagles can still win the NFC East with a Week 18 win and some help, so Smith will likely be on the field for the matchup if he's physically capable of playing.

Smith is likely only dealing with a mild ankle sprain, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.

EDGE Analysis

Smith was spotted using both crutches and a walking boot after injuring his foot Sunday, and he is set to undergo more tests Monday. However, early indications are his injury is not serious. With the Eagles playing to win the NFC East title in Week 18, expect the team to be very cautious with the wideout during practice this week in an effort to make sure he's on the field Sunday against the Giants.
