DeVonta Smith - Page 29 - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

First 100-yard game in Week 4 loss Smith caught seven of 10 targets for 122 yards in Sunday's 42-30 loss to the Chiefs.

Impact Smith successfully created separation throughout the game against the struggling Chiefs defense. The 10th-overall pick still made some rookie mistakes, including running a wrong route that almost led to a Jalen Hurts interception late in the first half, but there's no question that Smith has the talent to thrive in the NFL. Smith's 122 receiving yards in this one topped the 115 he had compiled over his first three games combined, and he'll look to build on this performance in Week 5 against the Panthers.

Slips on interception Smith caught three of six targets for 28 yards in Monday night's 41-21 loss to the Cowboys.

Impact Smith had a long gain of 19 yards in the first half, but he opened the second by slipping on a target from quarterback Jalen Hurts, allowing college teammate Trevon Diggs to intercept the ball and run 59 yards for a touchdown. Despite the score getting lopsided at that point and the Eagles consequently being forced to pass, Smith still couldn't muster much production, failing to top 30 yards for the second straight week. This year's tenth-overall pick will now strive for improvement in Week 4 against the Chiefs defense that has struggled so far this season.

Makes little of seven targets Smith recorded two receptions on seven targets for 16 yards in Sunday's Week 2 loss to the 49ers.

Impact Smith was the favorite target of Jalen Hurts, but the pair didn't find the same connection they showcased in Week 1. The Eagles' offense struggled overall, with Quez Watkins being the primary member of the offense to post notable production. While it's a positive that Smith remained the top target in the offense, his down performance highlights the volatility that the Eagles' offense could experience throughout the season.

Scores in regular-season debut Smith secured six of eight targets for 71 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 32-6 win over the Falcons on Sunday.

Impact The spectacular rookie paid immediate dividends in his regular-season debut, running under a pretty Jalen Hurts pass from 19 yards out in the first quarter for the Eagles' first points of the afternoon. Smith ultimately went on to co-lead the team in receptions while pacing the squad in both receiving yardage and targets, a highly encouraging sign for the apparently rapidly burgeoning connection between him and Hurts. Smith will look to build on the quick start to his career in a Week 2 home showdown against the 49ers.

Unlikely to play preseason finale Smith isn't in uniform ahead of Friday's preseason game at the Jets, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Smith missed a good portion of training camp due to a sprained MCL, but he was able to suit up in the Eagles' second exhibition against the Patriots. Because Jalen Hurts was a late scratch due to an illness, Smith worked with backup QB Joe Flacco, gathering in two of four targets for 19 yards. With the preseason finale imminent, it appears coach Nick Sirianni will hold out the team's 2021 first-round pick after a deluge of rain hit MetLife Stadium prior to Friday's contest. Thus, Smith's next game action won't occur until Week 1 in Atlanta.

Pair of grabs in pro debut Smith (knee) secured two of four targets for 19 yards in the Eagles' 35-0 preseason loss to the Patriots on Thursday night.

Impact The reigning Heisman Trophy winner just returned to team drills Tuesday after dealing with an MCL sprain and jumped into his first taste of NFL game action just 48 hours later. Smith didn't get an opportunity to work with Jalen Hurts, who was a late scratch due to an illness, but he was still able to benefit from playing with a very experienced signal-caller in Joe Flacco. Given he was able to suit up Thursday, Smith should have a chance to get some playing time with Hurts during the Eagles' preseason finale against the Jets a week from Friday.

Likely to play Thursday Smith (knee) is in pads prior to Thursday's preseason game versus the Patriots, suggesting he'll make his pro debut, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact As John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported earlier Thursday, Smith is slated to "get some plays" after tending to an MCL sprain in his left knee for the bulk of training camp. Smith missed two and half weeks due to the injury, but he got back on the practice field Monday and was in team drills Tuesday, setting him up for an appearance Thursday. The 2021 10th overall pick will work with the first-team offense, as he did to kick off camp in late July.

On track for NFL debut Thursday Smith (knee) is expected to "get some plays" in Thursday's preseason game against New England, John Clark of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact Smith missed two and a half weeks of practice after spraining the MCL in his left knee July 31. He just returned to practice this Monday, but a quick return to team drills (Tuesday) suggests the rookie wideout is feeling good. Prior to his injury, Smith had opened training camp on the first-string offense, with the Eagles leaving no doubt about where their expectations stand after trading up to take Smith at No. 10 overall in the 2021 draft.

Impact Smith returned to a limited practice Monday after missing two and a half weeks with an MCL sprain. He'd have a better chance to play if the Eagles were facing the Patriots over the weekend instead of this Thursday, but Smith should at least have time to prepare for the preseason finale against the Jets on Aug. 27. Even if the Eagles do keep him out of the two exhibitions, reports from early training camp suggest Smith will be a Week 1 starter, as he was consistently working with the first unit prior to spraining his knee.

Returns to limited practice Smith (knee) is returning to practice Monday as a limited participant, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith is in pads and on the field but may be held out of 11-on-11s and/or contact work. He sprained the MCL in his left knee July 31, and a return to practice Monday puts him right in the middle of the timeline estimate (2-3 weeks). While an appearance in Thursday's preseason game against New England may be too ambitious, Smith has another shot to suit up when the Eagles face the Jets on Aug. 27 in their preseason finale. The 10th overall pick in this year's draft had consistently been working with the first-string offense at training camp before his knee injury.

Progressing well Smith has been upgraded to day-to-day as he continues to recover from an MCL sprain, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith actually was spotted stretching with the team and running sprints on the sidelines, so it was assumed the first-round pick would ultimately participate in Saturday's practice, but the Eagles continue to be cautious with their prized rookie. The reigning Heisman Trophy winner appears to be on track to return within the two- or three-week timetable that was suggested after Smith sprained his MCL at the start of training camp.

AUGUST 14, 2021 • ROTOWIRE

Out 2-3 weeks with MCL sprain Smith (knee) is expected to miss two or three weeks of practice while he recovers from an MCL sprain, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.

Impact While MCL injuries typically come with longer recovery timelines, it sounds like Smith escaped with a minor sprain, as he walked off the field without much trouble and observed the remainder of Saturday's practice after hurting his knee. The Heisman winner hasn't practiced since and now figures to miss at least half of training camp, but it sounds like he still could play in the preseason. Smith opened camp working with the starters, so the Eagles don't seem inclined to waste time with formalities or make their prized rookie jump through hoops.
