Smith (knee) agreed to a contract with the Colts on Wednesday, Nate Atkins of The Indianapolis Star reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was out of football for the 2022 season after the Giants waived him last March with a failed physical designation. Now presumably fully healed from the knee injury he suffered in 2021, the 26-year-old will work to secure a spot on the Colts' Week 1 roster as a depth tight end.

The Giants waived Smith (knee) on Friday with a failed physical designation, Art Stapleton of The Bergen Record reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith played in just nine games during 2021 before landing on injured reserve with a knee injury for the rest of the campaign. As a rookie in 2019, he caught 31 passes for 268 yards and three touchdowns across nine games, but he's registered just 21 receptions for 135 yards and zero touchdowns over the past two seasons. In a corresponding move, the Giants re-signed David Sills, who was an impending exclusive rights free agent.

Smith (knee) was placed on injured reserve Friday, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was already ruled out for Sunday's matchup with the Dolphins, and he'll now be sidelined for at least two additional games. Chris Myarick should operate as New York's No. 3 tight end behind Evan Engram and Kyle Rudolph.

Smith (knee) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Dolphins, Zack Rosenblatt of The Newark Star-Ledger reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith wasn't able to practice this week and hasn't seen game action since Week 9, so his status comes as no surprise. With fellow tight end Kyle Rudolph (ankle) questionable, Chris Myarick may see an increased role against the Dolphins on Sunday.

Smith (knee) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Dan Duggan of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith hasn't seen game action since Week 9. Given his recent inactivity, Smith's likely to remain sidelined Sunday in Miami, though a more definitive update on his status should arrive when the Giants publish their injury report Friday.

Smith (knee) did not practice Wednesday, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's knee has been a chronic issue throughout the season, but has deteriorated to the point that he hasn't suited up since Week 9 against the Raiders. Smith will try to return Sunday against the Dolphins, but if he can't, Chris Myarick will see a boost to his workload, especially if Kyle Rudolph (ankle) is also unable to play.
