Smith (leg) is expected to miss the 2024 season with a patellar tendon injury, but MRI results should confirm the exact nature of the injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Smith was carted off the field during Cincinnati's joint practice with Chicago on Thursday, and the worst-case scenario will likely be the result. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle's MRI could return a different outcome, but it appears likely he'll be out for the year.
