Cleared to play Week 6 Smith cleared the NFL's concussion protocol Friday, Zach Berman of PHLY reports.

Impact Smith has been practicing without limitations coming out of Philadelphia's Week 5 bye, and he has gained clearance from an independent neurologist to suit up, which is the final hurdle he needed to clear in order to play Sunday against the Browns. The star receiver will thus make his return from a concussion suffered in Week 3 against the Saints, and the Eagles will also be welcoming back A.J. Brown (hamstring).

Another full practice Thursday Smith (concussion) practiced fully Thursday.

Impact Smith continues to practice without limitations this week, which marked his first stretch of on-field work since he sustained a concussion Week 3 at New Orleans. In the meantime, he sat out Week 4 in Tampa Bay and then used the Eagles' Week 5 bye to complete most of the protocol for head injuries. On Wednesday, Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reported that Smith was in the final phase of the protocol, meaning the wide receiver only needs to gain clearance from an independent neurologist in order to return for Sunday's game against the Browns.

No limitations in practice Smith (concussion) was a full practice participant Wednesday.

Impact Reuben Frank of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports that Smith is in the final stage of concussion protocol, one step away from gaining clearance to play in games. That'll likely happen by the end of the week, before the Eagles host the Browns this Sunday.

Set to practice Wednesday Smith (concussion) is in line to practice Wednesday, Jeff McLane of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact With the benefit of the Eagles' Week 5 bye, Smith will look to keep his absence to only one game as a result of the concussion that he sustained during a Week 3 win at New Orleans. Wednesday's practice report will reveal how much work he was able to handle along with fellow wide receiver A.J. Brown (hamstring), who hasn't played since Week 1.

Ruled out for Week 4 Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Sunday's game at Tampa Bay.

Impact Smith took a hard hit in the fourth quarter of last week's win over the Saints and hasn't practiced since. He has a good chance to avoid multiple game absences, as the Eagles are on bye Week 5 before hosting the Browns in Week 6 (Sun., Oct. 13).

Not practicing Smith (concussion) isn't practicing Friday, Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia reports.

Impact A third consecutive missed practice makes Smith unlikely to play this Sunday at Tampa Bay. He entered concussion protocol after taking a hard hit in the Week 3 win over New Orleans.

SEPTEMBER 27 • ROTOWIRE

Still not practicing Thursday Smith (concussion) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.

Impact Smith and fellow WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) haven't logged any on-field work so far this week, leaving both trending in the wrong direction ahead of Sunday's game at Tampa Bay. Friday's injury report could clear up any questions about Smith heading into the weekend, and if he sits out due to the concussion that he suffered this past Sunday in New Orleans, the Eagles' receiving corps would be thinned out, especially if Brown also is inactive. With Britain Covey (shoulder) going on IR earlier this week, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and practice-squad members Parris Campbell, Danny Gray, Kyle Philips, John Ross and Marcus Rosemy-Jacksaint would be the candidates to fill in at wide receiver for the Eagles in Week 4.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Not seen on field Thursday Smith (concussion) wasn't spotted at the media-access portion of Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.

Impact Smith sustained a concussion during this past Sunday's win at New Orleans, adding to an already banged-up receiving corps headlined by A.J. Brown (hamstring), who has missed the last two games. Meanwhile, Britain Covey (shoulder), Ainias Smith (ankle) and Jacob Harris (concussion) are on injured reserve. If both Smith and Brown go down as non-participants for a second consecutive day, they'll have just one more chance to mix into drills this week, which wouldn't be a great sign for Smith as he makes his way through the protocol for head injuries.

SEPTEMBER 26 • ROTOWIRE

Sits out Wednesday's practice Smith (concussion) is not participating in Wednesday's walkthrough practice, Olivia Reiner of The Philadelphia Inquirer reports.

Impact Smith's progression through the NFL's five-step concussion protocol isn't yet far enough along for him to resume practicing in any capacity. With A.J. Brown (hamstring) also not practicing Wednesday, it's possible Philadelphia's top two wideouts could both be unavailable for Sunday's road matchup against the Buccaneers. The Eagles will benefit from a Week 5 bye after taking on Tampa Bay, which could lead the team to take a more cautious approach to player's recoveries, due to the extra week of rest coming up. In any case, Smith will need to gain full medical clearance before being eligible to return to game action. Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and practice squad player Parris Campbell will have to lead Philadelphia's wide receiver room if Smith and Brown are unable to go Week 4.

Concussion confirmed Sunday Smith won't return to Sunday's game in New Orleans due to a concussion.

Impact Smith got a concussion check after he stayed on the turf for some time at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. Now that a head injury has been confirmed for Smith, he'll check out of Week 3 with seven catches (on 10 targets) for 79 yards. With A.J,. Brown (hamstring) inactive and Britain Covey (shoulder) ruled out of Sunday's contest, the Eagles' receiving corps has been whittled down to Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell.

Getting concussion check Smith is under evaluation for a head injury during Sunday's game at New Orleans.

Impact Smith remained on the turf for a spell at the end of a five-yard catch early in the fourth quarter. If he ends up entering the concussion protocol, he'll be the second Eagles wide receiver to join A.J. Brown (hamstring) as out after Britain Covey sustained a shoulder injury earlier Sunday. For the time being, Jahan Dotson, Johnny Wilson and Parris Campbell are the healthy options at the position available to QB Jalen Hurts.

Hits pay dirt on MNF Smith recorded seven catches (10 targets) for 76 yards and a touchdown in Monday's 22-21 loss to the Falcons.

Impact Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver after fellow starter A.J. Brown (hamstring) was ruled out prior to Monday's narrow defeat. The latter is expected to miss multiple weeks with a hamstring injury suffered in last week's win over the Packers, opening up a prime window for Smith to shine as the No. 1 option in Philadelphia. His first opportunity will come in a road matchup against the Saints on Sunday.

Set for No. 1 role in Week 2 Smith is expected to serve as the top option in the passing game for quarterback Jalen Hurts in Monday's game against the Falcons due to A.J. Brown (hamstring) being ruled out for...

Impact Though No. 3 wideout Jahan Dotson should benefit the most in terms of an increase in snaps while Brown is out Monday, Smith has a good chance at clearing double-digit targets in the absence of the three-time Pro Bowler. Since joining the Eagles ahead of the 2022 season, Brown has yet to miss a game, so Monday will mark the first time that Smith has had a chance to serve as Philadelphia's clear No. 1 receiver since his 2021 rookie campaign.

Efficient in overseas victory Smith brought in seven of his eight targets for 84 yards in Friday's 34-29 win over Green Bay.

Impact Friday's tilt at Corinthians Arena in Brazil featured multiple strong fantasy scores for both sides after 63 points were put on the board. Smith finished with Philadelphia's fourth-highest score for fantasy purposes after all seven of his receptions failed to cross the goal line. The 25-year-old wideout hasn't eclipsed seven touchdowns in any of his three seasons as a pro, but he has proven to be a reliable target opposite A.J. Brown (5/119/1) that fantasy managers can rely on for consistent production, especially for those in PPR formats. Smith will look for that first score of the season in a home matchup against the Falcons in Week 2.
