DeVonta Smith Appears On Eagles' Injury Report Friday But Is Expected To Play

Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith missed Friday’s practice with a knee injury but was not given game status and is expected to play.

Smith hasn’t missed a game since the Eagles drafted him in the first round out of Alabama in 2021. Smith was in the building Friday but did not practice. He was seen in the locker room after training.

The Eagles released their final injury report of the week on Friday, ruling out several players for Sunday’s game against the Bills.

Here are the scores for this weekend:

Out of: Dallas Goedert (forearm), Milton Williams (concussion), Justin Evans (knee), Grant Calcaterra (out)

Questionable: Quez Watkins (hamstring)

It’s worth noting that both Evans and Watkins are on the injury report but are still working their way back from IR. Although the fact that Evans hasn’t been able to practice this week isn’t a good sign.

While Watkins is questionable for this game, he may not be ready to return. The Eagles would have to place him on the 53-man roster before he is eligible to play.

Goedert will miss his second straight game with a broken forearm, but the fact that he hasn’t been placed on IR shows the Eagles are hopeful he will be back within four games. Even if he doesn’t return next week against the 49ers, he could be ready for the Week 14 game in Dallas.

Without Goedert and Calcaterra, Jack Stoll and Albert Okwuegbunam are the Eagles’ only tight ends on the roster, although they do have veteran Noah Togiai on their practice squad. Togiai could be elevated for this game.

Williams suffered a concussion Monday night against the Chiefs and did not have enough time to be cleared by the NFL’s concussion protocol. Without him in this game, there’s a good chance that seventh-round rookie Moro Ojomo could be active and see some playing time.
