Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Giants.
Smith thus will sit out for the fifth time in six games due to a hamstring injury. Fellow WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also won't play Sunday, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to man the Eagles' receiving corps. Smith's next chance to suit up is Sunday, Nov. 22 versus the Steelers.

Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was not seen at Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
With Smith now absent from practice again Friday, he's unlikely to play Sunday against the Giants, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper and Hollywood Brown as the top wide receivers for QB Joe Milton's first start in an Eagles uniform. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also absent from practice Friday and figures to join Smith on the gameday inactive list yet again.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Misses Thursday's practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) officially didn't practice Thursday.
Smith has yet to mix into any drills since his last appearance in Week 6 against the Panthers, missing the last two contests due to a hamstring issue. With a Week 10 bye on the horizon, the Eagles may be focusing on getting him healthy for the final eight weeks of the campaign. In any case, Smith's status for Sunday's contest against the Giants may gain some clarity once the team posts its final Week 9 injury report Friday.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Non-participant again Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) wasn't spotted at practice Thursday, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Smith hasn't practiced or played since he suited up for Philadelphia's Week 6 loss to the Panthers. He's trending toward a third consecutive absence Sunday against the Giants. With Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also yet to resume practicing, Makai Lemon looks set to lead Philadelphia's receiving corps for a third consecutive game.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) didn't practice Wednesday.
Smith's lack of activity to kick off Week 9 prep doesn't come as a surprise, as he wasn't present during the media-access portion of Wednesday's session. He hasn't practiced since his last appearance in a Week 6 loss to the Panthers, when he went for seven catches (on 14 targets) for 75 yards and one touchdown. If he's able to put himself in a position to play Sunday against the Giants, Smith will be on the receiving end of passes from QB Joe Milton, who is replacing Tanner McKee as the starter.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not present Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) wasn't spotted at Wednesday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Smith has missed four of the last five contests due to a lingering hamstring injury, and until he's able to mix into drills again, he may not be a candidate to be active on game days. The Eagles have a Week 10 bye after Sunday's matchup with the Giants, so the team could be focusing on getting him healthy for Week 11 and beyond. In any case, fellow WR Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also wasn't seen Wednesday, leaving Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore as the healthy options at the position on the active roster.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Ruled out for Sunday's game
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) is listed as out for Sunday night's game against the Commanders.
Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) has also been ruled out, so both wideouts will miss a second straight contest. Look for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to soak up most of the snaps at wideout for Philadelphia.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Remains absent Friday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) remains sidelined for Friday's practice, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.
Smith has missed practice all week, making him unlikely to play Sunday night against the Commanders. Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) was also absent Friday, paving the way for Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown and Elijah Moore to again handle wideout duties in Week 8.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not spotted at practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) wasn't spotted during the portion of Thursday's practice open to the media, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
Smith was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough, and he doesn't appear ready to rejoin his teammates one day later. He has sat out three of the past four games and will likely need to practice in at least some capacity Friday to have a chance to play Sunday night against the Commanders.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: No practice Wednesday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's walkthrough.
Smith has missed three of the last four games due to a hamstring injury, and his lack of activity to begin Week 8 prep isn't a great sign for his odds to return to action Sunday in Washington. He likely will need to mix into drills Thursday and/or Friday to have a chance to play this weekend.

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: 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. He has missed back-to-back games and doesn't seem to be trending towards a return in Week 6 against the Panthers. The Eagles will already be missing Jalen Hurts (blood clot) for Sunday's game.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: DNP on Wednesday

Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Wednesday's practice.
While Smith remained sidelined from on-field work, he was spotted working on a JUGS machine during the open portion of Wednesday's session, per Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer. Smith has missed the last two games due to a hamstring issue and may be trending toward a third absence if he isn't able to get back on the practice field by Friday.

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.
