Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Four catches in Week 6 loss
Rotowire
Smith secured four of five targets for 49 yards in the Eagles' 34-17 loss to the Giants on Thursday night.
Smith was third across the board to Dallas Goedert and A.J. Brown in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the night, and his overall numbers represented a significant downturn from his season-best effort against the Broncos on Sunday. Smith recorded exactly half of the receptions and targets he had in that contest, while his yardage tally was a sharp decline from the 114 he managed versus Denver. His first opportunity to bounce back will come against the Vikings in a Week 7 road matchup on Sunday, Oct. 19.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Stellar numbers in tough matchup
Rotowire
Smith secured eight of 10 targets for 114 yards in the Eagles' 21-17 loss to the Broncos on Sunday.
Smith shook off a highly undesirable matchup on paper to produce team-best totals in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon, as well as a season-long 52-yard catch. The Eagles' unusual pass-centric approach Sunday certainly helped Smith's numbers, but even on lower-volume days for the air attack, Smith has been the more consistent producer between him and A.J. Brown by far through Philadelphia's first five games. Smith will take a 25-272-1 receiving line on 30 targets into a favorable Week 6 road matchup against the Giants on Thursday night.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Limited to two catches Sunday
Rotowire
Smith brought in both his targets for 29 yards in the Eagles' 31-25 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.
Smith had the Eagles' second-longest gain through the air of the afternoon with a 20-yard reception, but his production stalled during another very quiet day for the air attack. The 2021 first-round pick has multiple receptions in every game thus far, but after clearing the 50-yard threshold in the previous two contests, Smith mustered his second-lowest yardage total of the campaign Sunday. He could be hard-pressed to improve much on his relatively modest 17-158-1 line in Week 5, as a stingy Broncos secondary pays a visit to the defending champions.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Finds end zone in Week 3
Rotowire
Smith recorded eight receptions on nine targets for 60 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's 33-26 win over the Rams.
The Eagles were forced into a more aggressive offensive game plan after they fell behind by three scores early in the fourth quarter. Smith and A.J. Brown both benefited, with the former chipping in as a reliable target closer to the line of scrimmage. Smith also provided the game-winning touchdown on a four-yard out with just under two minutes remaining in the game. Smith's production will remain volatile, but he should have strong performances when the Eagles are forced to take to the air more often.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Leads team with 53 yards Sunday
Rotowire
Smith corralled four of six targets for 53 yards in Sunday's 20-17 win over Kansas City.
Smith finished as the Eagles' leading receiver in a game during which his team threw for just 101 yards. It was a marked improvement from the veteran starter following last Thursday's three-catch, 16-yard stinker in a win over the Cowboys. Expect Smith and the entire Philadelphia passing attack to be more involved next Sunday lining up opposite the Rams' high-powered passing attack.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Limited to three catches in win
Rotowire
Smith secured all three targets for 16 yards in the Eagles' 24-20 win over the Cowboys on Thursday night.
As Smith's line corroborates, it was a quiet night for the speedster to open the 2025 campaign. Smith finished behind both Saquon Barkley and Dallas Goedert in receptions on the night, while No. 3 receiver Jahan Dotson outgained him by 43 yards on the same number of catches. Nevertheless, there's no question more productive days are ahead for Smith, and a Week 2 road rematch with a Chiefs team he recorded 69 yards and a touchdown against in Super Bowl LIX in February may provide just the platform for Smith's first noteworthy performance of the new season.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Not on injury report
Rotowire
Smith (groin) doesn't appear on the Eagles' injury report in advance of Thursday's game against the Cowboys.
That's also the case with A.J. Brown (hamstring), so the Eagles will indeed have both wideouts available for Week 1 action. As the coming season approaches, Smith and Brown remain the team's clear-cut top two options at their position, with Jahan Dotson, John Metchie and Darius Cooper rounding out Philadelphia's WR corps.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Returns to practice Sunday
Rotowire
Smith (back) is practicing Sunday, Zach Berman of The Athletic reports.
Smith had been out of practice since Monday while dealing with a tight back, though by the end of the week he was able to run with trainers and warm up with teammates. It appears the star wideout now is feeling well enough to return to practice, though it's not clear if he'll be limited at all. Regardless, there doesn't appear to be any reason for concern about his availability for the start of the regular season.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Nearing return to practice?
Rotowire
Smith (back) is missing a fourth straight practice Friday, but he's progressed to warming up with teammates and running with trainers, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
He first missed practice Monday, with reports attributing it to back soreness or a back contusion. It sounds like Smith will be back in practice soon enough, occupying his usual role as the No. 2 receiver in Philadelphia's narrowly concentrated offense.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Clear for Super Bowl
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) doesn't have a designation for Sunday's Super Bowl LIX matchup against the Chiefs.
Smith followed up no activity during the first week of Super Bowl prep with three consecutive capped sessions this week due to a hamstring injury. Despite the limitations along the way, he's cleared for Sunday's game, looking to build upon the 12-121-0 line on 12 targets that he's accrued so far in three playoff contests.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Another limited practice
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) practiced in a limited capacity Thursday.
After sitting out the first week of Super Bowl prep due to a hamstring injury, Smith now has logged back-to-back capped sessions to begin this week, giving him only one more chance to get back to full participation or else risk entering the weekend with a designation for Sunday's game against the Chiefs. Friday's practice report will reveal whether or not that comes to pass.
Smith (hamstring) was a limited participant at Wednesday's practice.
Smith was held out of all drills last week due to a hamstring injury, after which he didn't receive a game designation on last Friday's practice report for Super Bowl LIX. With some practice reps under his belt to begin this week, he appears to be ramping up his activity level in advance Sunday's game against the Chiefs. He may need to upgrade to full participation by Friday, however, to avoid taking a designation into the Super Bowl.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: No practice Thursday
Rotowire
Smith (hamstring) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice, Brooks Kubena of The Athletic reports.
The Eagles estimated Smith as a DNP on their first injury report of Super Bowl prep due to a hamstring issue, but he still will have four more chances to get back on the field and prove his health ahead of the team's matchup with the Chiefs on Sunday, Feb. 9. In three playoff games so far, he's tallied exactly four catches on each occasion on his way to a 12-121-0 line on 12 targets.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Four catches in NFCCG win
Rotowire
Smith caught all four of his targets for 45 yards in Sunday's 55-23 win over the Commanders in the NFC Championship Game.
Smith drew a pass interference penalty in the end zone late in the first half to set up a one-yard Jalen Hurts rushing touchdown on the next play. Besides that, Smith didn't make much of an impact as the Eagles scored seven rushing touchdowns and Hurts directed 16 of his 28 passes to either A.J. Brown or Dallas Goedert. Smith has just 66 receiving yards across his last two games heading into Super Bowl LIX in New Orleans on Feb. 9 after recording at least 55 receiving yards in five of six career playoff games prior to this two-game personal downturn.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Four grabs against Rams
Rotowire
Smith caught all four of his targets for 21 yards in Sunday's 28-22 divisional-round win over the Rams.
While it wasn't much, the production led all the Eagles' wide receivers on the day, as the team's offense continues to be carried on Saquon Barkley's shoulders. Smith has managed an 8-76-0 line on eight targets over Philly's two playoff games despite the limited volume available, and he might find more success in the NFC Championship Game against a Commanders secondary that had its issues during the regular season.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Leading receiver in wild-card win
Rotowire
Smith caught all four of his targets for 55 yards in Sunday's 22-10 wild-card round win over the Packers.
The Eagles' passing game had a fairly quiet afternoon and Smith led the team in receiving yards, although he wasn't on the other end of either of Jalen Hurts' TD passes. The fourth-year wideout has caught at least four passes in six straight appearances dating back to Week 11, posting a 35-401-4 line on 43 targets over that stretch, giving Smith plenty of momentum heading into the divisional round.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Cleared to play Sunday
Rotowire
Smith (back/rest) doesn't have an injury designation for Sunday's game against the Packers.
The Eagles held Smith out of practice Friday after previously not listing him on their injury reports this week, but it seems there's no real concern about tightness in his back. He'll likely be fine to handle his usual, near-every-down role come Sunday afternoon.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Tending to wrist injury
Rotowire
Smith (wrist/rest) was a non-participant at Thursday's practice.
Smith has kicked off Week 18 prep with back-to-back DNPs due to wrist and rest, but even if those absences are related to maintenance, he likely is among the list of Philadelphia starters that aren't expected to play Sunday against the Giants along with QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) and RB Saquon Barkley. The Eagles could make a ruling on Smith's availability for their regular-season finale as soon as they post their final injury report of the week Friday.

Eagles' DeVonta Smith: Two TD grabs sans Hurts
Rotowire
Smith brought in six of seven targets for 120 yards and two touchdowns in the Eagles' 41-7 win over the Cowboys on Sunday.
Smith led the Eagles in receptions, receiving yards and targets on the afternoon despite working with Kenny Pickett (ribs) and Tanner McKee as his quarterbacks. Smith caught a touchdown from each, recording a 22-yard scoring grab in the second quarter from Pickett and a 25-yarder from McKee to close out the scoring in the final period. Smith, who now has a career-high eight TD catches, will have one more chance to tune up for the postseason in Week 18 against the Giants, but it remains to be seen how much playing time Philadelphia's starters outside of Saquon Barkley, who'll be chasing the all-time rushing yardage record, will play.
