Steve Smith (knee surgery) said Monday that he expects to start practicing maybe during Week 1. Smith is merely confirming an earlier timetable set by coach Andy Reid. If he is going to practice during Week 1, that gives him three weeks from today to get ready. Of course, he'd still have to get in game shape and develop a level of trust with Michael Vick. An impact early in the season is highly unlikely, even if Jeremy Maclin (undisclosed illness) isn't ready.
