Eagles' DeVonta Smith Suffers Concussion After Brutal Hit in Win Over Saints

Smith's helmet flew off after a helmet-to-helmet hit, leading to his early exit and sparking controversy over the Saints' defensive tactics.

DeVonta Smith was ruled out with a concussion after a helmet-to-helmet hit by Saints' Khristian Boyd in the fourth quarter.
The hit led to Smith's helmet flying off and he remained on the ground for several minutes before walking off under his own power.
Eagles' safety C.J. Gardner-Johnson criticized the Saints' hit as 'dirty,' highlighting the lack of a penalty call on the play.
Philadelphia was already without star receiver A.J. Brown due to a hamstring injury, compounding the team's receiver woes.
Smith had 79 yards on seven catches before his exit; his status for the upcoming game against the Buccaneers remains uncertain.
