Overview
- Saturday reports from team coverage and NFL insiders said DeVonta Smith has been officially ruled out for Monday Night Football against the Dallas Cowboys.
- Head coach Nick Sirianni said the staff is monitoring Smith's recovery and has discussed the option of shutting him down to ensure full healing.
- Smith has missed multiple games this season after first tweaking the hamstring in early August and did not practice all week, which prompted the Week 7 absence.
- When available Smith has been productive, recording 26 catches for 310 yards and two touchdowns so far and catching seven passes for 75 yards and a touchdown in his most recent game against Carolina.
- Philadelphia's 2-4 start and Jalen Hurts being out for the year make this a roster decision with short-term and long-term stakes, including more chances for younger receivers and implications for draft positioning.
