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.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Notches first sack in return
Smith posted two tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks, in a 10-7 win over the Packers on Monday Night Football.
The Packers had driven past the Eagles' 30-yard line late in the second quarter when Smith halted their momentum with a sack of Jordan Love. One play later, Love was sacked again (this time by Nakobe Dean) and turned the ball over on a fumble. Smith logged just a 28 percent defensive snap share, as he was coming off a five-game absence due to a triceps injury.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Activated from IR
The Eagles activated Smith (triceps) ahead of Monday night's game against the Packers, James Boyd of The Athletic reports.
Smith remains questionable for Monday's game, but his activation from injured reserve indicates that he will return from a five-game absence due to a triceps injury he sustained in Week 3 against the Rams. Joshua Uche, Jalyx Hunt and Jihaad Campbell will see less rotational snaps at linebacker if Smith is in fact cleared to play against Green Bay.

Eagles' Nolan Smith: Questionable to play Week 10
Smith (triceps) is listed as questionable for Monday's game against the Packers.
Smith logged a trio of full practices during Week 10 prep, and the 2023 first-rounder is trending toward being activated from injured reserve ahead of Monday night's contest. He is in the final stages of his recovery from a triceps injury that caused him to miss the Eagles' last five games. Smith's return would result in less defensive snaps being available for Joshua Uche and Jihaad Campbell.
