DeVonta Smith Dealing With Mild Ankle Sprain

DeVonta Smith Dealing With Mild Ankle Sprain

11 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (ankle), who was spotted leaving the Week 17 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in a walking boot, is believed to be dealing with a mild ankle sprain, according to sources. Smith will have more tests on Monday, but his injury isn't considered serious. The 25-year-old finished the 35-31 loss with three receptions on his five targets for 30 yards. It's good news for the Eagles offense heading into the postseason. But for fantasy managers that have Smith rostered that will still be playing for a championship in Week 18, there's a good chance the Eagles will hold Smith out for the final regular season game against the New York Giants on Sunday, Jan. 7. If that happens, wideouts Quez Watkins, Julio Jones and Olamide Zaccheaus would see more run in Philly's passing attack. Stay tuned for more information on Smith leading up to the Week 18 game.
