Smith (hamstring) isn't practicing Friday and appears in serious danger of missing Sunday's game at the Rams, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Smith hasn't practiced all week, and it remains to be seen if he's listed as questionable, doubtful or out on Philadelphia's final injury report. A 'questionable' designation would create a tricky situation for a lot of fantasy managers with the Eagles and Rams playing Sunday night.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Smith will miss his second straight practice to begin Week 12 prep as he tends to a hamstring injury for a third consecutive week. He thus has just one more chance to get on the practice field Friday before the Eagles potentially make a ruling on his availability for Sunday's game at the Rams.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Doesn't practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury for a third straight week, but he was able to suit up for the previous two games, combining for six catches (on nine targets) for 43 yards in wins against the Cowboys and Commanders. As such, he likely isn't is danger of missing Sunday's contest at the Rams, but his status nonetheless will need to be monitored in the coming days to ensure he'll be ready to play this weekend.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Quiet night in Week 11 win
Rotowire
Smith secured four of six targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' 26-18 win over the Commanders on Thursday night.
Smith finished fourth on the Eagles in receiving yards despite slotting in second in both receptions and targets. The speedster now has been under 30 yards in back-to-back games for the first time this season, and he's still in search of his first 100-yard effort of the campaign. Smith's next opportunity to reach that milestone comes in a Week 12 road matchup against the Rams on Sunday night, Nov. 24.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Clear for Week 11
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice but doesn't have a designation for Thursday's game against the Commanders.
Smith was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate due to a hamstring issue and then was limited at Tuesday's walkthrough. Despite another capped session Wednesday, he's good to go for Thursday's matchup with a Washington defense that has allowed the 10th-most yards per target (8.18) and third-most receiving touchdowns (12) to opposing wide receivers in 10 contests this season.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Limited in Tuesday's practice
Rotowire
The Eagles listed Smith (hamstring) as a limited participant on Tuesday's estimated practice report.
After being deemed a non-participant on the Eagles' initial Week 11 injury report that was issued Monday, Smith took a step forward in activity Tuesday, though Philadelphia merely held a walk-through session. So long as Smith practices again in some capacity Wednesday, he should be in good shape to play Thursday against the Commanders.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Estimated as non-practice participant
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was listed as a non-participant on Monday's practice estimate.
Smith didn't practice last Wednesday due to a hamstring issue before being limited Thursday and then practicing fully Friday and approaching Sunday's game against the Cowboys without a Week 10 injury designation. With no reported setbacks in the Eagles' subsequent 34-6 win, during which Smith recorded a 72 percent snap share, it's quite possible that the wideout's estimated absence Monday is indicative of load management as opposed to any concern regarding his availability for Thursday night's game against the Commanders. Look for added context on that front to arrive as Tuesday's practice unfolds.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Quiet game in lopsided win
Rotowire
Smith was limited to two receptions (three targets) for 14 yards in Sunday's 34-6 win over Dallas.
Smith took a backseat to star wideout A.J. Brown (5-109-0) in a game that saw the Eagles lead from start to finish. The 25-year-old Smith was coming off a pair of 85-plus yard performances with touchdowns in each, so fantasy managers shouldn't be discouraged by Sunday's negative game script. Expect Smith to be more involved in an important NFC East matchup against the Commanders on Thursday Night Football in Week 11.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: No injury designation
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game at Dallas.
Smith closed out the week with a full practice and said afterward that he'd be fine to play this Sunday. The final injury report confirms his optimism, giving QB Jalen Hurts all his key pass catchers with A.J. Brown having quickly recovered from a knee injury and TE Dallas Goedert now back from his hamstring issue.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Says he'll play
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) said Friday that he'll play in Sunday's game at Dallas, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Smith was a limited practice participant Thursday, after being listed as a non-participant for Wednesday's walkthrough. He doesn't seem worried about missing the game this Sunday, but it remains to be seen if the Eagles give him an injury designation.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Seen at Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was present at the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Smith was absent from Wednesday's walkthrough due to a hamstring injury, but his return to the field one day later generally is a step in the right direction. Thursday's practice report will reveal the activity levels of both Smith and fellow WR A.J. Brown (knee).

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Leading receiver Sunday
Rotowire
Smith caught four of six targets for 87 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 28-23 win over the Jaguars.
Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver following A.J. Brown's (knee) departure in Sunday's win. The 25-year-old Smith was already coming off of a strong fantasy performance prior to his teammate's injury. With Brown's status for next Sunday's tilt against Dallas uncertain, Smith continues to be an excellent fantasy play heading into Week 10.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Finds end zone in return
Rotowire
Smith caught three of four targets for 64 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 20-16 win over the Browns.
While he didn't see much volume in his return from a one-game absence due to a concussion, Smith made an impact with a 45-yard TD reception in the fourth quarter that sealed the win for the Eagles. The fourth-year wideout has a 24-303-2 line on 32 targets through four contests this season, and he could find pay dirt again in Week 7 versus a Giants team he's had plenty of success against in the past -- in his last five meetings with Philly's NFC East rivals, he has four touchdowns.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Another full practice Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.
Smith continues to practice without limitations this week, which marked his first stretch of on-field work since he sustained a concussion Week 3 at New Orleans. In the meantime, he sat out Week 4 in Tampa Bay and then used the Eagles' Week 5 bye to complete most of the protocol for head injuries. On Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that Smith was in the final phase of the protocol, meaning the wide receiver only needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to return for Sunday's game against the Browns.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: No limitations in practice
Rotowire
Smith (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.
Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that Smith is in the final stage of concussion protocol, meaning that he merely needs clearance from an independent neurologist to get the green light for action. Barring any setbacks in his recovery from the concussion, Smith should exit the protocol before the Eagles host the Browns this Sunday. Smith had a two-game run as the Eagles' No. 1 receiver before sitting out the Week 4 loss to the Buccaneers with a concussion, but coming out of a Week 5 bye, he'll move back to second on the depth chart with A.J. Brown (hamstring) putting in a full practice Wednesday to clear the way for his return from a three-game absence.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not practicing

Smith (concussion) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
A third consecutive missed practice makes Smith unlikely to play this Sunday at Tampa Bay. He entered concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 3 win over New Orleans.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Still not practicing Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Smith and fellow WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) haven't logged any on-field work so far this week, leaving both trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Friday's injury report could clear up any questions about Smith heading into the weekend, and if he sits out due to the concussion that he suffered this past Sunday in New Orleans, the Eagles' receiving corps would be thinned out, especially if Brown also is inactive. With Britain Covey (shoulder) going on IR earlier this week, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and practice-squad members Parris Campbell, Danny Gray, Kyle Philips, John Ross and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint would be the candidates to fill in at wide receiver for the Eagles in Week 4.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Getting concussion check
Rotowire
Smith is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.
Smith remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. If he ends up entering the concussion protocol, he'll be the second Eagles wide receiver to join A.J. Brown (hamstring) as out after Britain Covey sustained a shoulder injury earlier Sunday. For the time being, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy options at the position available to QB Jalen Hurts.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Set for No. 1 role in Week 2
Rotowire
Smith is expected to serve as the top option in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts in Monday's game against the Falcons due to A.J. Brown (hamstring) being ruled out for the contest, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Though No. 3 wideout Jahan Dotson should benefit the most in terms of an increase in snaps while Brown is out Monday, Smith has a good chance at clearing double-digit targets in the absence of the three-time Pro Bowler. Since joining the Eagles ahead of the 2022 season, Brown has yet to miss a game, so Monday will mark the first time that Smith has had a chance to serve as Philadelphia's clear No. 1 receiver since his 2021 rookie campaign.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Yet to play in preseason
Rotowire
Smith didn't play in Thursday's 14-13 preseason win over the Patriots.
Smith has yet to appear in the 2024 preseason, which is also the case for Philadelphia's other key skill players. After signing a three-year, $75 million extension in April, Smith will look to build on a strong first three NFL regular seasons in which he averaged 1,059 receiving yards and 6.3 TDs per year. If Smith plays in the preseason finale against the Vikings on Saturday, Aug. 24, it likely won't be for more than a few drives.
