Smith posted two tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 10-7 win over the Packers on Monday Night Football.
EDGE Analysis
The Packers had driven past the Eagles' 30-yard line late in the second quarter when Smith halted their momentum with a sack of Jordan Love. One play later, Love was sacked again (this time by Nakobe Dean) and turned the ball over on a fumble. Smith logged just a 28 percent defensive snap share, as he was coming off a five-game absence due to a triceps injury.

Smith (triceps) is active for Monday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
The Eagles activated Smith from injured reserve earlier in the day, and the third-year pro has officially been cleared to return from a five-game absence. He posted 10 tackles (four solo) and a forced fumble in three games before suffering a triceps injury.

The Eagles activated Smith (triceps) ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith remains questionable for Monday's game, but his activation from injured reserve indicates that he will return from a five-game absence due to a triceps injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Rams. Joshua Uche, Jalyx Hunt and Jihaad Campbell will see less rotational snaps at linebacker if Smith is in fact cleared to play against Green Bay.

Smith (triceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.
EDGE Analysis
Smith logged a trio of full practices during Week 10 prep, and the 2023 first-rounder is trending toward being activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's contest. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a triceps injury that caused him to miss the Eagles' last five games. Smith's return would result in less defensive snaps being available for Joshua Uche and Jihaad Campbell.

Smith (triceps) was a full participant in Friday's practice.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's 21-day window to return from injured reserve opened Tuesday. The third-year pro has opened Week 10 prep with back-to-back full practices, and he told reporters after Friday's practice that he expects to play against the Packers, per Zach Berman of The Athletic. Smith missed the Eagles' five games prior to the Week 9 bye due to a triceps injury that landed him on IR.

Smith (triceps) was a full practice participant Thursday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith landed on IR due to a triceps injury in late September. He was designated to return to practice Tuesday and was a full participant in the Eagles' first practice of the week. The expectation when Smith went on IR was that he'd be able to return for this coming Monday's matchup against Green Bay, and that still appears to be in play, though Philadelphia would first have to activate the third-year linebacker off IR.

Philadelphia designated Smith (triceps) for return to practice from its injured reserve list Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
Smith was originally placed on injured reserve with a lingering triceps injury after Week 3 versus the Rams, but it now appears he's on track to returning to the field soon. The Eagles will have 21 days to officially activate Smith before they would be required to keep him on injured reserve for the remainder of the season.

The Eagles placed Smith (triceps) on injured reserve Wednesday and anticipate him retaking the field in time to suit up Nov. 10 versus the Packers in Week 10, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
EDGE Analysis
Smith's placement on IR is official, and it appears that he'll be forced to miss more than the four-game minimum required by that transaction. He aggravated the same triceps that required him to undergo surgery after Philadelphia's win over the Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. Za'Darius Smith will likely handle a larger role on defense, beginning Sunday against the Buccaneers, with Smith sidelined.

Smith recorded four tackles (one solo) during Thursday's 24-20 win versus the Cowboys.
EDGE Analysis
Smith didn't exactly stuff the stat sheet in Week 1, but he played 52 of Philadelphia's 61 defensive snaps Thursday, a promising indicator for the rest of the season. He showed flashes of double-digit sack potential in 2024, and he'll be looking for his first of 2025 against a pass-first Kansas City team in Week 2.
