DeVonta Smith injury update: Will Eagles WR play in Week 14 vs. Panthers?

Wednesday's injury report brought good news for Philadelphia Eagles fans and fantasy football managers with DeVonta Smith on their roster.

The team listed the "Slim Reaper" as a full participant in practice on Wednesday for the first time since he sustained an injury in Week 11. Given that update and the lack of an injury designation for Sunday, Smith appears set to return to action against the Carolina Panthers in Week 14.

Smith's return will be a welcome one for the Eagles, who will be missing another pass-catcher. Tight end Dallas Goedert is considered week-to-week after he suffered a knee injury during Philadelphia's Week 13 game. He did not practice this week.

Here's the latest injury update for Smith:

DeVonta Smith injury update

After missing the Eagles' last two games with a hamstring injury he suffered in Week 11, Smith is off the injury report ahead of Sunday's game.

Philadelphia listed the receiver as a full participant in practice all week, meaning there should be no concerns regarding his availability on Sunday. The fourth-year wide receiver was listed as questionable ahead of last week's game but was ultimately ruled out.

Smith will return to action in Week 14, when the Eagles take on the Carolina Panthers.

When was DeVonta Smith's injury?

Smith injured his hamstring during the Eagles' "Thursday Night Football" meeting with the Washington Commanders in Week 11. He was unable to practice for all of Week 12 and ultimately missed the game against the Los Angeles Rams.

Last week, he returned to practice on a limited basis but eventually was ruled out for Sunday's game. This week's return to full participation at practice bodes well for a Smith return against the Panthers.

Eagles WR depth chart

With Smith back as a full participant in practice, here's how the Eagles' depth chart looks ahead of Week 14's clash with the Panthers:

  • A.J. Brown

  • DeVonta Smith

  • Jahan Dotson

  • Johnny Wilson (Questionable)

  • Ainias Smith

  • Britain Covey (Questionable)

Philadelphia's wide receiver corps could be back to full strength on Sunday. At the least, the Eagles likely won't be missing any of their starters.

Covey is dealing with a neck injury that kept him out of Wednesday's practice, and Wilson's hamstring injury held him to limited participation. They're both listed as questionable for Sunday's game.
