Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is dealing with a groin injury and will not practice Thursday according to The Athletic’s Zach Berman.
Fantasy Impact: Smith’s groin injury will be monitored daily but is not believed to be serious. Smith was present and engaged at practice but was held out due to an abundance of caution this early. Currently, the team is confident he should be ready for next week’s first preseason game against the New York Jets. Smith heads into this regular season looking to build on his rookie season where he finished with 64 receptions for 916 yards and five touchdowns as an underutilized weapon in a run-first offense. If Smith can take the next step this season and take advantage of defenses scheming to focus more on new teammate AJ Brown, Smith has a chance to be as much of a sleeper as a player less than two years removed from a Heisman Trophy can be.
