Smith has a history of hamstring trouble. He previously missed portions of the summer and wasn’t active for the entire preseason in an effort to be ready for Week 1. He also noted reoccurrence of discomfort during a game in Week 2, explaining that he played through the issue but eventually decided to sit out to prevent further aggravation.
In the 2026 NFL season, Smith began as the Eagles’ top receiver for the first time since his rookie year. He opened the year with a three-catch, 53-yard performance against Washington, followed by a 10-catch, 117-yard performance with a touchdown against Tennessee in Week 2. He played through the hamstring issue in Week 3 versus Chicago, finishing with six receptions for 65 yards. He subsequently sat out the Eagles’ last two games against Los Angeles and Jacksonville.
For the season, Smith has been a key playmaker when healthy, delivering strong production early and providing a high-volume receiving option for the Eagles’ offense. His return would be a welcomed boost as the club looks to maintain offensive efficiency and sustain momentum.
This update covers Smith’s current injury status and recent performance, noting that his availability for the upcoming game depends on medical evaluations and clearance from the team’s medical staff.
