Smith (calf) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against the Eagles, with head coach Ron Rivera saying that the team will need to see how the quarterback feels Saturday before rendering a verdict on his status, John Keim of ESPN.com reports.

EDGE Analysis

Rivera said Smith looked good at practice Friday, when he was a limited participant for a second straight day. The veteran signal-caller has given himself a shot to play, but the coaching staff doesn't seem fully convinced he'll be ready to go this weekend, as quarterback Steven Montez is being brought up from the practice squad to provide depth behind Smith and Taylor Heinicke. It'll be Heinicke making the Week 17 start if Smith isn't able to play in Sunday's must-win game, which kicks off at 8:20 p.m. ET.
