Newer update on DeVonta Smith: Jalen Hurts injury update: Eagles lose 25-14 to Panthers as IR stint continues

DeVonta Smith injury update: DNP Wednesday ahead of Week 6 vs. Panthers (hamstring/toe)

DeVonta Smith did not practice Wednesday due to hamstring and toe injuries, and his Week 6 status remains uncertain.

By Cole Hartwell

DeVonta Smith did not practice Wednesday, according to NBC Sports and Yahoo Sports. The Eagles listed him as a non-participant with a hamstring and toe injury.

What happened

The Eagles have 24 players on their injury report. Smith, Saquon Barkley, Michael Carter, Jalyx Hunt, Drew Kendall, and Will Shipley were all listed as non-participants. Marquise Brown, Grant Calcaterra, Landon Dickerson, AJ Epenesa, Marcus Epps, Jonathan Greenard, EJ Jenkins, Tyler Steen, Eli Stowers, and Dontayvion Wicks were limited.

Smith has not played or practiced in Weeks 4 or 5, according to RotoBaller. The Eagles did not place him on injured reserve despite initially reporting a multi-week absence.

Context

Smith has 48.5 PPR points through five weeks in three games this season. He has 27 targets, 19 receptions, 235 receiving yards, and one receiving touchdown. In Week 2 he scored 27.7 PPR points on 13 targets, 10 receptions, 117 yards, and a touchdown. His Snap share is 93%.

Timeline

  • October 7: Smith did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury, according to Fantasy Football Desk.
  • October 15: Smith was working off to the side at practice, according to Fantasy Football Desk.
  • October 14 evening: The Eagles listed Smith as a non-participant on Wednesday’s injury report, per NBC Sports and Yahoo Sports.

Depth chart

Dontayvion Wicks is the next wide receiver on the depth chart and has 49.0 PPR points in five games. Makai Lemon has 25.3 PPR points, and Darius Cooper has 44.0 PPR points with four touchdowns.

What’s next

The Eagles play at home against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, October 18.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Smith’s status is uncertain for Week 6. He is a risky start given the hamstring injury and missed practice. If he plays, he is a high-end WR2 based on his target share. If he sits, Dontayvion Wicks becomes a flex option with 49.0 PPR points, and Makai Lemon could see more targets. Monitor Friday’s practice report before making a decision.
