Let go by Jets The Jets cut Smith (undisclosed) from the practice squad injured list Wednesday with an injury settlement, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

Impact Smith was placed on the Jets' practice squad injured list Friday with an unspecified injury. The injury settlement allows the 2022 fourth-round pick to join a team in need of linebacker depth once he's fully healthy. Across his two regular-season appearances with the Eagles in 2023, Smith played 30 snaps on special teams and registered one tackle.

IR-bound with ankle injury Carolina placed Smith (ankle) on its injured reserve list Saturday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Smith will now have to miss the remainder of the regular season recovering from an ankle injury he sustained during Carolina's win at Seattle in Week 14. The Panthers are still mathematically alive in the NFC playoff race, so it's not certain that the rookie fourth-rounder's season is over just yet.

Ruled out for Week 15 Smith (ankle) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest against the Steelers.

Impact Smith will be forced to miss Week 15 after suffering an ankle injury in the Panthers' Week 14 win over the Seahawks. In his absence, Cory Littleton (ankle) could see a slight uptick in usage versus Pittsburgh.

Dealing with ankle injury Smith (ankle) sustained an ankle injury during Sunday's win over the Seahawks, Augusta Stone of the Panthers' official site reports.

Impact Smith sustained an injury on a punt in the second half of Sunday's matchup and was unable to return down the stretch. It's unclear whether he'll be available next Sunday against Pittsburgh.

Dodges injury report Smith (thigh) was not present on Carolina's injury report Wednesday.

Impact Smith had been dealing with a thigh injury since his rookie season kicked off and hasn't yet logged his debut snap, though it now appears he'll be ready to go Sunday versus New Orleans. While he's not expected to start any time soon, the uber-athletic linebacker out of Penn State should get a chance to contribute in the near future.

Inactive Sunday Smith (thigh) is listed as inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Giants.

Impact Smith has been dealing with a thigh injury before the season officially kicked off. While the fourth-round pick out of Penn State was listed as active during Week 1, he did not take the field for his NFL debut. With the rookie linebacker on the sidelines, Cory Littleton might see increased reps.

Doubtful for Week 2 Smith (thigh) did not practice Friday and is listed as doubtful for Week 2, Darin Gantt of Panthers.com reports.

Impact Smith was dealing with the same issue ahead of Carolina's opener and suited up for Week 1 anyways -- though the rookie fourth-rounder didn't log a snap versus Cleveland. It now appears the injury will keep him out of Sunday's game at the Giants entirely, in which case Cory Littleton may see increased reps.
