Overview
- Smith has an ongoing hamstring issue that began in the offseason and forced him to miss a large portion of training camp.
- He played against the Chicago Bears and caught six passes for 65 yards, but the hamstring concern returned afterward.
- The Eagles’ midweek walkthrough listed Smith as a non‑participant, and the club says a clearer decision will come after full practice sessions.
- Depth is strained because tight end Dallas Goedert and other starters are also limited or out, increasing pressure on Saquon Barkley and backup receivers.
- Los Angeles expects Puka Nacua to be available for the Rams, which would raise the matchup difficulty if Smith or other pass‑game contributors are limited.
