Eagles second-year linebacker and first-round pick Marcus Smith has declared that the hamstring injury he sustained in practice Thursday will have him sidelined for 2-3 weeks.

"I'm glad it wasn't anything major, but it's still something that keeps him out," defensive coordinator Bill Davis told the Philadelphia Inquirer. "It's disappointing, probably to him more than anybody. He was really taking some growth steps and coming along, and now he's got a setback."

Smith is targeting more playing time in 2015. He got into eight games as a rookie, but registered no tackles.
