Smith (neck) will not play in Sunday's game against the Saints, Jason Butt of The Athletic reports.

EDGE Analysis

A Week 9 bye allowed Smith to clear the concussion protocol, but he didn't have enough time to recover from his neck injury. He was held out of practice throughout the week, leaving his availability beyond Sunday looking murky. Brian Hill served as the Falcons' No. 2 running back behind Devonta Freeman in a 27-20 loss to the Seahawks back in Week 8.
