Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) returned to a full practice on Thursday and is not listed on the final injury report for Friday's game vs. the Bears. We'll look for any further updates on his status. But, as of now, we're assuming he'll play his usual role tomorrow.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (shoulder, chest, illness) missed his second straight practice on Wednesday. We don't have any other details on his injuries, but Smith is seemingly in danger of missing Friday's game vs. the Bears. His absence would be a big boost to WR A.J. Brown and TE Dallas Goedert. We'll see how Smith is listed on Thursday's final injury report.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith posted just 4 receptions and 53 yards in Sunday's win over the Chiefs. But that accounted for 52.5% of Philadelphia's receiving yardage in a game that saw Jalen Hurts throw for just 101. Smith's six targets ranked second (behind A.J. Brown's eight) and constituted 27.3% of Hurts' total pass attempts. Smith did appear to hurt his back early in the second half, visiting the blue medical tent after coming down hard on a reception attempt. He returned, though, and snagged a 28-yard fourth-quarter catch that helped seal the victory.

Eagles TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is out for Sunday’s game vs. the Chiefs. His injury reportedly isn’t serious, so we’ll see if he can make it back for Week 3. Goedert’s absence leaves Grant Calcaterra as Philadelphia’s likely lead TE, but he’d be a desperation fantasy play. WRs A.J Brown and DeVonta Smith both gain target upside with Goedert out. They've climbed the Week 2 WR rankings.

Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, appears on track to play Week 1 against the Cowboys, according to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network.

Eagles’ WR A.J. Brown (hamstring) missed practice again on Thursday. According to Mike Garafolo of NFL Network, there doesn’t seem to be great concern about the injury.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion) is out for Sunday's game vs. the Giants. He should be cleared in time to play in next week's Wild Card game. RB Saquon Barkley and WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith are listed as doubtful. They won't play in this meaningless game. TE Dallas Goedert (knee) is not listed on the final injury report and could get a few snaps in this one to knock off some rust. We'd still avoid him in Week 18 fantasy lineups. QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) is listed as questionable but didn't practice all week. We're expecting QB Tanner McKee to get the start. RB Will Shipley (concussion) is listed as questionable but was a full-go in the final two practices of the week. He should be cleared for this one and figures to operate as Philadelphia's lead back.

Eagles QB Jalen Hurts (concussion, finger) has been ruled out for Sunday’s game vs. the Cowboys. QB Kenny Pickett (ribs) was limited in practice throughout the week but is off the final injury report and will get the start. That should mean a bit more passing volume for the Eagles, but a dip in efficiency. It projects as about a wash for WRs A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith.

A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith combined to claim 23 of Philly's 25 targets in Sunday's loss to Washington. Brown led with 15, catching eight for 97 yards and a TD. Smith tallied a 6-51 receiving line among 8 targets. RBs Saquon Barkley and Kenneth Gainwell logged a target apiece.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith came off a two-game hamstring injury to draw a team-high 6 targets in Sunday's win over the Panthers. That led A.J. Brown by two, though they caught a matching four passes. Brown tallied 43 yards to Smith's 37, but Smith snagged the only TD between them -- one of two Jalen Hurts threw for the game.

The Eagles are placing TE Dallas Goedert on IR with his knee injury, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. That knocks Goedert out through Week 17, so he can be dropped from all redraft rosters. "The plan is for him to be back at full speed heading into the playoffs," Rapoport adds.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) put in a full week of practice and is not listed on the final injury report. He should be ready for a full slate of snaps vs. the Panthers this weekend. As usual, there doesn’t figure to be much passing volume from Philadelphia in that one. But Smith could get a target boost with TE Dallas Goedert out.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That gives him a shot to make it back for this weekend's showdown vs. the Ravens. We'll see what Smith does in Friday's practice and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) missed his second straight practice on Thursday. He played through a hamstring issue last week, but his status for Sunday night's game vs. the Rams is worth checking back on when we get Philly's final injury report on Friday afternoon.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) is not listed on the final injury report for Sunday's game vs. the Cowboys. He went from no practice on Wednesday to limited participation on Thursday to full-go Friday. Smith is fine to use as you normally would in fantasy lineups.

Eagles WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring) returned to a limited practice on Thursday. That should put him on track to play vs. the Cowboys this weekend, but we'll see what he does on Friday and how he's listed on the final injury report.

Eagles WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (hamstring) were both full participants in practice all week and are not listed on the final injury report. They'll be back in their usual roles vs. the Browns on Sunday and should be back in fantasy lineups. The Eagles are also getting RT Lane Johnson back this week. It's all good news for QB Jalen Hurts.

The Eagles are expecting WRs A.J. Brown (hamstring) and DeVonta Smith (concussion) to play vs. the Browns this weekend, according to Underdog's James Palmer. Brown missed the last three games with his hamstring injury, while Smith missed Week 4 with his concussion. QB Jalen Hurts mustered just 158 passing yards on 5.3 yards per attempt with his top two WRs missing in that loss to the Bucs. With this offense now back to full strength, expect a big bounce-back from Hurts this weekend.

The Eagles selected Florida State WR Johnny Wilson in Round 6 of the NFL Draft. Wilson started out as an Arizona State Sun Devil, recruited by current Raiders HC Antonio Pierce. But the four-star California native would require patience before making his mark. 2020 turned up a pandemic-shortened season. Then in 2021, Wilson missed seven games with a hamstring. His fortunes changed in 2022 following a move to Florida State. The 6’6, 231-pounder broke through with 43-898-5 in 13 games. That’s 20.9 yards per catch – plus an eye-popping 3.36 yards per route run. Wilson’s production predictably dipped in 2023 (41-617-2). FSU welcomed in transfer WR Keon Coleman, while Wilson missed three games with an injury. Despite the up-and-down college career, the 23-year-old has a chance to stick as an outside WR in the pros. He’s a rare athlete at his size, and he proved it at the Combine with a 9.70 Relative Athletic Score. His 84.5-inch wingspan is simply enormous. This isn’t a great spot for Wilson’s dynasty value, though. The Eagles have WR A.J. Brown signed through 2029 and WR DeVonta Smith through 2028.
