Overview

• DeVonta Smith, the Eagles' star wide receiver, will miss Sunday night's game against the Los Angeles Rams due to a lingering hamstring injury.
• Smith has been dealing with the injury since early November and did not participate in any of the team’s practices this week.
• This will be only the third regular-season game Smith has missed in his four-year NFL career, highlighting his usual durability.
• The Eagles, currently 8-2 and vying for the NFC’s top playoff seed, will rely on Jahan Dotson, rookie Johnny Wilson, and Britain Covey to fill the gap opposite A.J. Brown.
• Smith’s absence follows a noticeable drop in his production over the last two games, where he recorded just six catches for 43 yards and no touchdowns.
