Ainias Smith: Reaches injury settlement
Smith (undisclosed) was waived from injured reserve by the Panthers with an injury settlement Thursday, Kassidy Hill of the team's official website reports.
Smith reverted to injured reserve with Carolina on Wednesday, and as a result, he was set to miss the entirety of the 2026 campaign. Now that he has reached a settlement with the Panthers, he'll have an opportunity to pass a physical and play with a new squad this season.

Panthers' Ainias Smith: Bound for IR
Smith (undisclosed) reverted from waivers to Carolina's injured reserve list Wednesday, Mike Kaye of The Charlotte Observer reports.
Smith passed through waivers after the Panthers waived him Tuesday, and now he's on track to spend the entire 2026 campaign on IR. His being sidelined could open up more opportunities for players like 2024 sixth-rounder Casey Washington and Ja'Seem Reed to make an impression during training camp.

Ainias Smith: Waived/injured by Carolina
The Panthers waived/injured Smith (undisclosed) on Tuesday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Both Smith and Gabriel Benyard were let go Tuesday in moves that corresponded with the Panthers signing wideouts Roc Taylor and Elijah Cooks. Because Smith was cut with an injury designation, he would revert to the Panthers' injured reserve if he goes through waivers unclaimed. That would force the 2024 fifth-rounder to sit for the entire 2026 season unless he reaches an injury settlement with Carolina.

Panthers' Ainias Smith: Staying with Panthers
Smith signed a reserve/future contract with the Panthers on Monday, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Smith appeared in seven regular-season games for the Eagles as a rookie, but the 2024 fifth-round draft pick was waived prior to the 2025 season and subsequently signed with Carolina's practice squad, where he spent the entire 2025 campaign. He will likely get a chance to compete for a roster spot with the Panthers in training camp in 2026.

Ainias Smith: Joins Carolina's practice squad
The Panthers signed Smith to the practice squad, Darin Gantt of the team's official site reports.
Smith suited up for nine regular-season games with Philadelphia last year, after the team selected him in the fifth round of the 2024 NFL Draft. He secured seven of nine targets for 41 yards and one score in that span, but after being waived by the Eagles on Tuesday, he'll now need to establish himself in a depth role for a new organization.

Ainias Smith: Cut by Philly
The Eagles waived Smith on Tuesday, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
Smith was a fifth-round pick out of Texas A&M last year and appeared in seven regular-season games as a rookie, catching seven of his nine targets for 41 yards and one touchdown. He produced a 6-40-2 receiving line on 86 offensive snaps this preseason. The Eagles will likely try to sneak Smith through waivers and onto the practice squad.

Eagles' Ainias Smith: Hauls in TD in Saturday's loss
Smith caught both his targets for 19 yards and a touchdown in Saturday's 22-13 preseason loss to the Browns.
The 2024 fifth-round pick connected with rookie QB Kyle McCord for a nine-yard score late in the second quarter, the Eagles' final points of the afternoon. Smith is in a dogfight with Terrace Marshall and Darius Cooper for the final one or two spots on the wideout depth chart, but it's not a role likely to have much fantasy value in an offense where touches are dominated by Saquon Barkley, A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith.
