DeVonta Smith injury update: Not seen Thursday ahead of Week 7 vs. Cowboys

Smith missed Thursday's practice with a hamstring issue, leaving his Week 7 status uncertain.

By Cole Hartwell

DeVonta Smith was not seen at Thursday’s practice, according to Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com. Underdog NFL reports he did not practice with a hamstring injury.

What happened

Smith was not spotted at Thursday’s practice, per Kempski. Underdog NFL indicated it was a hamstring issue.

Context

Smith has 69.0 PPR points, 41 targets, 26 receptions, 310 receiving yards and 2 receiving touchdowns in 4 games this season. That is 17.3 PPR points per game. In Week 6, he caught 7 of 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown.

Timeline

On October 7, Smith did not practice Wednesday due to a hamstring injury. On October 15, he did not practice Wednesday and was listed as a non-participant with a hamstring and toe injury. On October 19, it was reported that Smith returned from a two-week break to recover from a hamstring issue and caught 7 passes for 75 yards and a score against the Panthers.

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) doesn't practice Thursday.

🏈 Fantasy impact

Smith’s absence from Thursday’s practice is worth monitoring, but it’s too early to bench him for Monday night. The Eagles play on Monday, so fantasy managers have extra time to see if he returns to practice later in the week. If he’s active, he’s a WR2 with upside based on his Week 6 usage — 14 targets for 75 yards and a score. His season average of 17.3 PPR points per game is strong. If Smith sits, Dontayvion Wicks becomes the most likely beneficiary as the next receiver on the depth chart. Wicks has 8.9 PPR points per game this season. Hold Smith for now and check back before setting lineups.
