Smith caught just one of six targets for two yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.
Smith also handled punt-return duties, gaining 17 yards on two tries. As a wideout, however, he disappointed by dropping a pair of passes. Although he still played over 70 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, Smith's poor performance could open the door for Terrace Marshall and/or Rashard Higgins to get more chances in Week 3 versus the Saints.
