Eagles' Nolan Smith: Exits league's concussion protocol
Smith (concussion) does not carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Commanders.
Smith was a full participant in Friday's practice, and he was cleared from the league's concussion protocol after passing an evaluation by an independent neurologist. His return means less defensive snaps will be available for Jalyx Hunt, Arnold Ebiketie and A.J. Epenesa.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Back at practice Wednesday
Smith (concussion) was a limited participant in Wednesday's practice.
Smith entered the league's concussion protocol against the Panthers in Week 6. He did not practice during Week 7 prep, so his limited session Wednesday indicates that he is progressing in his recovery. He would need to be cleared from the league's protocol by an independent neurologist in order to be available for Sunday's game against the Commanders.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Won't play Week 7
Smith (concussion) has been ruled out for Monday's matchup against Dallas.
Smith suffered a concussion last Sunday against Carolina and was unable to practice this week. He remains in the NFL's concussion protocol and won't be able to suit up again on game day until he's cleared by an independent neurologist. Both Jonathan Greenard (ankle) and Jalyx Hunt (ankle/knee) are questionable for Monday, and Arnold Ebiketie will likely be asked to step into a starting role with at least Smith guaranteed to be sidelined.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Done for remainder of Week 6
Smith (concussion) won't return to Sunday's game against Carolina.
Smith took a hit from Chuba Hubbard in the second quarter. He exited for an evaluation in the medical tent and was then escorted to the locker room by the training staff. With Smith ruled out for the remainder of Week 6, the Eagles will need to rely on Jonathan Greenard, Arnold Ebiketie and Keyshawn James-Newby to fill the void.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Arrested on speeding charges
Smith was arrested last Friday in Georgia and is accused of speeding and reckless driving, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
According to a representative of the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith's vehicle was clocked at 130 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone while the 25-year-old was driving on the interstate. A court date for Smith's case has been set for July 14, though he wouldn't have to appear if he agrees to pay the fines associated with his citations. A 2023 first-round draft pick, Smith has accrued 10.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits over 45 career games during the regular season and was a standout performer in the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl in 2024, when he racked up 4.0 sacks in four playoff contests.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Fifth-year option excercised
The Eagles exercised Smith's fifth-year option Monday, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports.
Smith will earn another $13.7 million, guaranteeing his services to the Eagles through 2027. The linebacker is coming off a slightly disappointing season that was spoiled by a lingering triceps injury he originally suffered during training camp. Despite the issue, Smith still started 12 regular-season games, logging 31 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks. Headed into 2026 healthy, Smith will look to produce a year similar to his 2024 season (42 tackles, including 6.5 sacks), which would help greatly in long-term extension discussions with the organization.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Misses five games in 2025
Smith played 12 regular-season games during the 2025 campaign, tallying 31 tackles (15 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and one forced fumble.
Smith was sidelined on IR for five games with a triceps injury, leading to a corresponding drop in production. The 2023 first-round pick started all 12 of his games this season, but he played over 50 percent of defensive snaps just eight times. In three years, Smith has accumulated 9.5 sacks over 45 regular-season games. He figures to play a similar rotational role during the final year of his rookie contract in 2026.
