Irv Smith Jr. Fully Practices Thursday

one year ago

Cincinnati Bengals tight end Irv Smith Jr. (hamstring) was a full participant in Thursday's practice. It's an upgrade from Wednesday's limited session with a hamstring injury, tentatively putting Smith on track to return for Week 5's road affair with the Arizona Cardinals. The 25-year-old has been sidelined for the last two games after suffering the setback during Week 2. Smith would be immediately inserted as Cincinnati's primary pass-catching tight end and could be in for an amplified role if Tee Higgins (ribs) is unable to suit up on Sunday. Smith has hauled in five out of nine targets for 27 yards on the campaign, but the former second-round pick could enter the streaming conversation at a barren position in a beatable matchup if Higgins is out.
