The star wide receiver confirms his readiness for Sunday's game, providing a boost to Philadelphia's offense after a two-game absence.
- DeVonta Smith, sidelined for two games with a hamstring injury, has declared himself ready to play against the Carolina Panthers on Sunday, saying, 'Count me in.'
- Smith participated fully in practice all week and was removed from the Eagles' injury report on Friday, signaling his return to the lineup.
- The Eagles' passing game has struggled in Smith's absence, averaging 77 fewer yards per game without the wide receiver on the field this season.
- The Eagles will also welcome back cornerback Darius Slay from a concussion, but key players such as Dallas Goedert (knee) and Reed Blankenship (concussion) remain sidelined.
- Philadelphia, currently 10-2, aims to strengthen its playoff positioning with Smith's return against a Panthers team that has struggled defensively this season.
