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.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Upgrades to limited Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) practiced on a limited basis Thursday.
Before he mixed back into drills Thursday, Smith hadn't practiced since logging all 50 offensive snaps during a Week 3 loss at Chicago. On a positive note, he's been working on the side since last Thursday, and his upgrade from DNP this Wednesday to limited one day later gives him a reasonable to chance to return to action Sunday versus the Panthers. Friday's injury report will reveal Smith's odds to play this weekend, and if he's able to do so, he'll be on the receiving end of passes from QB Tanner McKee after Jalen Hurts was ruled out for Week 6 action due to a blood clot.

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.

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.

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.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Good to go against Chicago
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) does not carry an injury designation into Monday's game against the Bears.
Smith was working through a hamstring injury through Week 3 prep but ended with a full practice Saturday, which was enough for him to be cleared to play Monday. He has a 13-170-1 receiving line on 19 targets through the first two games of the regular season as the Eagles' top pass catcher, and he could see even more targets from Jalen Hurts due to the absence of top tight end Dallas Goedert (knee).

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Practicing again Saturday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) is participating in Saturday's practice, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.
Smith has been working through a hamstring injury, which prevented him from practicing Thursday before he returned for Friday's session in a limited capacity. His status for Monday night's game against the Bears will be more clear once the Eagles announce their injury designations following Saturday's practice. Smith is coming off a 10-117-1 receiving line (on 13 targets) against the Titans in Week 2, and if were to be ruled out or limited against Chicago, then Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper would all be in line for more targets from Jalen Hurts.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Getting in some work Friday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) wasn't in uniform at the start of Friday's practice but eventually took part in individual drills before running on a side field, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
After sitting out Thursday's practice due to a hamstring injury, Smith's ability to get in some work Friday generally is a good sign as the Eagles prepare for a Week 3 visit to Chicago. At the very least, he appears as if he'll be listed as a limited participant on Philadelphia's second practice report of the week, and he'll have another chance to mix in at Saturday's session before the team potentially tags him with a designation ahead of Monday's contest.
