Overview

• Smith strained the same left triceps he had surgically repaired after Super Bowl LIX, with reporters describing the injury as a re-aggravation.
• Placement on injured reserve triggers a minimum four-game absence, and team reporting indicates a possible comeback in early November following the bye.
• Cornerback Jakorian Bennett and wide receiver Darius Cooper were also placed on injured reserve as part of the roster shuffle.
• The Eagles signed Marcus Epps, Cam Latu and Parry Nickerson to the active roster and added Lance Dixon, Eli Ricks and Quez Watkins to the practice squad.
• With pass-rush production under scrutiny, Philadelphia is expected to lean more on Za'Darius Smith and Jalyx Hunt while Smith recovers, after he logged 10 tackles and a forced fumble through three games.
