Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Ruled out for Monday Night Football
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Monday's game against the Cowboys.
Smith was unable to practice all week while nursing a hamstring injury, and the Eagles will be without both of their top wide receivers, as Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has also been ruled out. Rookie Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown figure to be the Eagles' top wideouts for Monday night's game, and tight end Dallas Goedert will be a go-to target for quarterback Tanner McKee due to the absences of both Smith and Wicks. Smith's next opportunity to play is Week 8 against the Commanders on Sunday, Nov. 1.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Absent from Saturday's practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was not seen at the Eagles' practice Saturday, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Smith missed each of the first two practices of Week 7 prep while tending to a hamstring injury that he aggravated against the Panthers in Week 6. His absence for a third consecutive practice doesn't bode well for his chances of playing Monday against the Cowboys, but his status for that contest will be more clear once the Eagles announce their injury designations following Saturday's session. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also not on the field, so Dallas Goedert (knee), Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper could be the top targets for quarterback Tanner McKee in Monday's NFC East showdown.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Another missed practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) didn't practice Friday.
Smith previously sat out Weeks 4 and 5 due to a hamstring issue, but he was able to suit up this past Sunday against the Panthers, logging a 66 percent snap share and reeling in seven of 14 targets for 75 yards and one touchdown. It's unclear if Smith may be in danger of missing Monday's game versus the Cowboys, but Saturday's practice report will unveil his chances to suit up in Week 7.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not spotted Friday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Friday's portion of practice open to the media, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Smith continues to miss practice with a hamstring injury that cost him two games prior to last Sunday's return against the Panthers. However, he may have aggravated the issue, considering his back-to-back DNPs to begin Week 7 prep. Makai Lemon, Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) and Darius Cooper would be in line for the wideout duties if Smith needs to sit Monday night against Dallas, though Wicks has an injury of his own.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: DNP on Thursday due to hamstring
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) didn't practice Thursday.
Smith wasn't present in the media-access portion of Thursday's session, and his previous hamstring issue appears to be the culprit for his absence to begin Week 7 prep. He thus will have two more chances to prove his health before the Eagles potentially tag him with a designation for Monday's game versus the Cowboys.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not spotted at practice Thursday
Rotowire
Smith wasn't spotted at Thursday's practice, Jimmy Kempski of PhillyVoice.com reports.
Smith sat out Weeks 4 and 5 due to a hamstring injury, but he logged a full practice last Friday before suiting up this past Sunday against the Panthers. His snap share (66 percent) in that contest was below his weekly norm, but he still hauled in seven of 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown while working with QB Tanner McKee. Thursday's practice report will reveal if Smith is dealing with a health concern, or is merely getting the day off.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Looks good in return
Rotowire
Smith brought in seven of 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown in the Eagles' 25-14 loss to the Panthers on Sunday.
Smith had an eventful day in his return from a two-game absence, leading the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon. Smith also worked around getting briefly shaken up following a long incompletion where he appeared to have taken a blow to the chest area, and he added his second touchdown reception of the campaign via a 19-yard grab early in the fourth quarter. Smith displayed solid chemistry with fill-in signal-caller Tanner McKee, certainly a welcome development considering Jalen Hurts (IR, calf) is sidelined indefinitely.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Ready to return Sunday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) practiced in full Friday and doesn't have a designation for Sunday's game versus the Panthers.
Prior to logging a limited practice Thursday, Smith had been working on a side field for roughly one week, so a return to action seemed possible before the Eagles cleared him outright Friday. He thus will be making his first appearance this weekend since a Week 3 loss at Chicago, looking to build upon his 19-235-1 line on 27 targets through the first three contests. Smith won't be working with Jalen Hurts (calf) due to a blood clot, though, with backup QB Tanner McKee subbing in for Hurts for as long as the latter is sidelined.

Smith was not seen with his helmet during the media viewing period Thursday,Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
Smith is nursing hamstring and toe injuries and it appears he'll be missing his second straight practice Thursday.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Chance to return for Week 6
Rotowire
Head coach Nick Sirianni expressed hope Monday that Smith (hamstring) would return for this Sunday's game against the Panthers, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Smith has missed the Eagles' last two games due to a hamstring injury, and the Eagles were also without Saquon Barkley (hamstring) for their 19-17 Week 5 loss to the Jaguars in London. Smith has been limited to side work over the last couple of weeks, but a return to practice during Week 6 prep, even in a limited capacity, would be a positive step in his rehab program. Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon will continue to be the Eagles' top wide receivers in Smith's absence, though Darius Cooper appears to have been the biggest beneficiary of Smith's injury, with Cooper logging a 5-104-3 receiving line (on 10 targets) over his last two games.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not playing in Week 5
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's contest in Jacksonville.
Smith was seen running on a side field Thursday before getting in some rehab work Friday, but he was listed as a non-participant on all three of the Eagles' Week 5 injury reports due to a lingering hamstring issue and thus won't play Sunday. With Hollywood Brown (ankle) also sidelined this weekend, Philadelphia's options at wide receiver will be Dontayvion WIcks, Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Working on side field
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) is doing rehab work on a side field at Friday's practice, EJ Smith of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
It leaves Smith's status in considerable doubt for Sunday's game against the Jaguars in London, but the Eagles will release official injury designations later Friday. With Smith looking likely to miss Week 5, rookie Makai Lemon and Week 4 standout Darius Cooper will once again be in line to handle prominent pass-catching roles. Neither is particularly exciting in a broken Philadelphia offense.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Remains DNP at practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Per Tim McManus of ESPN.com, Smith was seen running on a side field Thursday, but the activity wasn't enough for him to be considered limited. It could be a sign that Smith is closing in on a return to practice, but until he does he may be trending toward a second straight absence Sunday at Jacksonville due to a hamstring issue. Friday's injury report may provide clarity on that front.

Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) remained sidelined for Friday's practice, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Smith is fully expected to miss Sunday's game against the Rams, as he's been idle for practice all week. His absence will open up a ton of opportunities for Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon in the passing game, making both worthwhile WR3 plays in fantasy.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Unlikely to play in Week 4
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) isn't expected to be available Sunday versus the Rams, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
For a second straight week, Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury, but he was able to play through it during Monday's loss at Chicago, logging all 50 offensive snaps en route to six catches (on eight targets) for 65 yards. He hasn't practiced so far this week, and McManus' report indicates Smith likely will remain out Friday before the team eventually makes a ruling on his status for Week 4. If Smith doesn't suit up this weekend, Dontayvion Wicks and Makai Lemon would be the primary beneficiaries in the receiving corps.

This marks the second straight day of missed practice for Smith, who is dealing with a hamstring injury. Smith's status looks to be in question heading into Sunday's crucial showdown with the Rams.
