Ready to rock Smith (shoulder) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Texans.
Impact Smith suffered the injury during last week's loss to the Buccaneers, but will suit up after practicing on a limited basis throughout the week. With the veteran ready to play, he's expected to handle his usual starting role at linebacker.

Listed as questionable Smith (shoulder) is questionable for Sunday's game versus the Texans.
Impact This injury may have popped up in Week 6 against the Buccaneers as Smith played a season-low 66 percent of the team's defensive snaps. He was limited in practice all week, though, so there is optimism that he'll suit up in Sunday's contest. Rashan Gary likely would start at outside linebacker if Smith were to be ruled out.

Gets to QB in win Smith recorded three tackles and 0.5 sacks in Sunday's 42-21 win over the Lions.
Impact Smith got to the QB for the first time this season, although he notched just a half sack. While he's still logging starting reps -- he played 93 percent of snaps -- Za'Darius Smith and Rashan Gary have been more effective pass rushers, combining for 3.5 sacks thus far. Preston is due for a positive bump at some point after racking up 12 sacks in 2019, but Week 3 against the Saints will be tough, as Drew Brees has been sacked just once this season.
