Overview
- Reporters saw DeVonta Smith miss the practice portions open to media on Thursday and Friday, a pattern that Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer summarized as making Smith "very much in question" for Monday night.
- Smith’s hamstring problem dates to the summer and was re‑aggravated in Week 2, and he returned in Week 6 to catch seven passes on 14 targets for 75 yards and a touchdown.
- Tight end Dallas Goedert (knee) and receiver Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also missed both media‑open sessions, creating uncertainty about multiple primary pass‑catchers for the Week 7 game.
- If those players are unavailable the Eagles would rely on secondary receivers Makai Lemon, Darius Cooper, Hollywood Brown, Elijah Moore and Britain Covey and could sign veteran Zach Ertz from the practice squad to bolster tight end depth.
- The team’s injury list has swelled to include nearly half the 53‑man roster through six weeks, which narrows their margin for error and makes Saturday’s final practice report decisive for Monday’s lineup and offensive plan.
