Report: Eagles WR DeVonta Smith unlikely to play vs. Rams
PhillyVoice • • sports
Key Points:
- The Philadelphia Eagles are likely to be without star receiver DeVonta Smith due to a hamstring injury for their upcoming game against the Los Angeles Rams, following a disappointing Week 3 loss to the Chicago Bears.
- Smith leads the team in receiving, accounting for 33.9% of receptions and 37.9% of receiving yards, making him a crucial part of the Eagles' passing offense.
- The Eagles traded A.J. Brown this offseason partly because they believed Smith was ready to take on a starring role, having averaged over 1,000 receiving yards per season as a complementary player.
- With Smith sidelined and tight end Dallas Goedert also out, the Eagles will rely on less established players such as Dontayvion Wicks, Makai Lemon, and recently signed tight end Zach Ertz to fill the void.
