Returns to limited practice Smith (concussion) returned to a limited practice Thursday.

Impact Smith -- who was inactive Week 17 -- didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to Thursday's session suggests that the tight end could be available Sunday against the Bills. Friday's final injury report will provide added context with regard to Smith's availability for the contest.

Back at practice Smith (concussion) was present for practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Smith didn't practice Wednesday, but his return to the field Thursday suggests that the tight end has a chance to return to action in Sunday's scheduled game against the Bills. The Patriots' upcoming injury report will clarify Smith's official participation level.

Misses practice Wednesday Smith (concussion) didn't participate in practice Wednesday.

Impact Smith didn't play in the Week 17 win over the Dolphins, and his continued absence from practice clouds his status for this Sunday's game against the Bills. If Smith remains sidelined, Hunter Henry would once again be in line to log added snaps and targets as New England's clear-cut top tight end.

Ruled out vs. Miami Smith (concussion) won't play Sunday against the Dolphins, Andrew Callahan of the Boston Herald reports.

Impact Fellow tight end Hunter Henry (knee) is listed as questionable, but if Henry's able to suit up, Smith's absence may afford him more playing time against a Dolphins defense that's allowed 10 touchdowns to tight ends, which is tied for the most in the league. Smith's last opportunity to return before the end of the regular season will come in Week 18 against the Bills.

Not practicing Thursday Smith (concussion) remained sidelined at practice Thursday, Evan Lazar of the Patriots' official site reports.

Impact Smith has one more chance to practice ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins, but if he's out this weekend, then Hunter Henry would be in line for added tight end snaps for the Patriots, assuming he plays through the knee issue that limited him during Wednesday's practice session.

Misses practice Wednesday Smith didn't practice Wednesday due to a concussion.

Impact With Smith confirmed to be dealing with a concussion, the tight end will need to clear the NFL's five-step protocol in order to play Sunday against the Dolphins. If Smith is unavailable this weekend, then Hunter Henry would be in line for added Week 17 snaps, assuming he's able to play through the knee issue that limited him in practice Wednesday.

Not practicing Wednesday Smith (head) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Meanwhile, Hunter Henry (knee) was present for Wednesday's session. In any case, the status of both tight ends will be monitoring ahead of Sunday's game against the Dolphins. If either Smith or Henry are out this weekend, Matt Sokol would be a candidate to be elevated from the Patriots' practice squad.

Gets checked for concussion Smith exited Saturday's game against the Bengals with a head injury and is questionable to return, Jim McBride of The Boston Globe reports.

Impact After he was initially evaluated in the blue medical tent on the New England sideline, Smith headed to the locker room to presumably undergo further evaluation for a possible concussion. He's the second Patriots tight end to leave Saturday's contest early, as Hunter Henry was already ruled out for the rest of the game with a knee injury. The 6-foot-5, 217-pound Scotty Washington, who is listed as a receiver but has previous experience at tight end, is likely to fill in as the Patriots' tight end the rest of the way if Smith is unable to return.

Two catches Sunday Smith caught two of his three targets for 24 yards in Sunday's 30-24 loss to the Raiders.

Impact Smith was out-snapped in the contest by Hunter Henry (52-38), per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, with both players catching two passes versus Las Vegas. As the stretch run approaches, Smith's fantasy upside remains capped, given the Patriots' tight end time share.

DECEMBER 19, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records 28 snaps Monday Smith logged 28 of a possible 59 snaps on offense in Monday's 27-13 win over the Cardinals, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith, who didn't catch a pass in the contest (on two targets), was out-snapped Monday by fellow tight end Hunter Henry (39-28), who caught all three of his targets for 70 yards. In a continuing time-share, Smith remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option as this Sunday's game against the Raiders approaches.

DECEMBER 13, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Records two catches in Week 13 Smith logged 17 of a possible 54 snaps on offense in Thursday's 24-10 loss to the Bills en route to catching both of his targets for six yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith, who was out-snapped by fellow tight end Hunter Henry (47 to 17) Thursday, is averaging two catches for 18.2 yards through 11 games thus far. Given that he hasn't scored a TD in that span while working in a time-share with Henry, Smith heads into the Patriots' stretch run with modest fantasy upside.

DECEMBER 2, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Blanked against Vikings Smith went without a target during Thursday's 33-26 loss to the Vikings.

Impact Smith played only 16 offensive snaps, matching his lowest total of the season. He was overshadowed by position mate Hunter Henry (three catches for 63 yards and a touchdown), and Smith has now failed to record a reception on three occasions this season. Prior to Thursday's matchup, Smith's involvement on offense appeared to be trending up, as he had tallied at least three catches in each of his last three games.

NOVEMBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches four passes in Week 11 Smith caught four passes on as many targets for 40 yards and carried once for five yards in Sunday's 10-3 win over the Jets.

Impact Smith was out-snapped by fellow tight end Hunter Henry (53 to 34) on Sunday, but the former was more involved in the team's passing game, with Henry logging just one target. With 10 catches on 11 targets for 71 yards over his last three games, Smith approaches Thursday night's game against the Vikings with modest fantasy upside.

Catches three passes Sunday Smith caught three of his four targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 26-3 win over the Colts.

Impact Smith, who was on the field for 34 of a possible 63 snaps on offense in the contest, per Mike Reiss of ESPN.com, has logged three catches and four targets in each of his last two outings, but while working in a time-share with fellow TE Hunter Henry, the 27-year-old remains a hit-or-miss fantasy option as the Patriots' Nov. 20 contest against the Jets approaches.

Jonnu Smith has wealth of open space on 24-yard catch and run New England Patriots tight end Jonnu Smith takes a screen pass and has wealth of open space on a 24-yard catch and run.

NOVEMBER 6, 2022 • PATRIOTS.COM

Records three catches Sunday Smith caught three of his four targets for 10 yards in Sunday's 22-17 win over the Jets.

Impact Mike Reiss of ESPN.com relays that Smith was on the field for 50 of a possible 78 snaps on offense in the contest, as was fellow TE Hunter Henry. But with a total of 13 catches on 20 targets for 133 yards in seven games to date, Smith is a low-percentage fantasy lineup option as long as he continues to work in a timeshare.

OCTOBER 31, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches one pass against Bears Smith played 17 of a possible 52 snaps on offense in Monday's loss to the Bears, catching one of three targets for four yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com reports.

Impact The tight end was well behind Hunter Henry (44 snaps, one catch on two targets) in usage. With a 10-123-0 stat line on 16 targets through six games, Smith has little fantasy value in his current role.

OCTOBER 25, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Practices fully Friday Smith (ankle) returned to a full practice Friday.

Impact With that, Smith is line to suit up Monday night against the Bears, though the tight end's weekly fantasy upside continues to be impacted by working in a timeshare with Hunter Henry. In five games to date, Smith has logged a total of nine catches on 13 targets for 119 yards.

OCTOBER 21, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Limited practice Thursday Smith (ankle) was limited at practice Thursday.

Impact Following a one-game absence, Smith logged 30 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in this past Sunday's win over the Browns, while catching both of his targets for 61 yards. With no reported setbacks in that contest, we'd expect Smith to be available Monday night against the Bears, but the tight end's fantasy upside is hampered by working in a timeshare with Hunter Henry.

OCTOBER 20, 2022 • ROTOWIRE

Catches two passes Sunday Smith was on the field for 30 of a possible 70 snaps on offense in Sunday's 38-15 win over the Browns en route to catching both of his targets for 61 yards, Mike Reiss of ESPN.com...

Impact Meanwhile fellow tight end Hunter Henry logged 68 snaps, while catching four of his seven targets for 61 yards and a TD. Smith's Week 6 fantasy line was bolstered by a 53-yard catch, but looking ahead to next Monday's game against the Bears, he's a hit-or-miss lineup option, given that he continues to work in a time-share with Henry.
