Nolan Smith Returns To Practice, Should Be Fine For Super Bowl

2 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles linebacker Nolan Smith (illness) returned to a limited practice session on Friday and was removed from this week's injury report. Smith was under the weather and missed practice on Thursday, but he was feeling better a day later and should be just fine to suit up next Sunday, Feb. 9, to take on the Kansas City Chiefs in Super Bowl LIX. The Eagles still have another full week of practice, but the 24-year-old Smith should be a full-go for all three of those sessions. In addition to having a strong regular season in his second year in the league in 2024, Smith has been a key defender for the Eagles in three postseason games, recording 16 tackles (seven solo), four sacks and a forced fumble. During the regular season (16 games), he had 42 tackles (21 solo) and 6.5 sacks. Smith has been a key role player for the No. 1 defense in the NFL.
