The Eagles have listed wide receiver DeVonta Smith as week-t0-week with a knee sprain. However, (Twitter link) NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport hears that it’s just a minor sprain, which means that Smith should only be out for a couple of weeks. 
[Poll: Which Rookie WR Will Finish With Most Receiving Yards?]
The first-round pick is set to reunite quarterback Jalen Hurts, his old college pal at Alabama. The stage is set for a big rookie year — the Heisman trophy winner may stand as the Birds’ top outside option as he joins Jalen Reagor, Travis Fulgham, and Greg Ward Jr. on the depth chart. Fortunately, he should be good to go in time for the season opener against the Falcons on September 12.
Smith broke onto the scene following a standout junior campaign, but he took it to another level in 2020. The wideout finished the year with 24 touchdowns, 1,862 yards from scrimmage, and the aforementioned Heisman (plus many more awards). He was universally viewed as one of the three best WRs in this year’s class — somewhere behind Ja’Marr Chase and neck-and-neck with teammate Jaylen Waddle. While those two were taken ahead of Smith, the Eagles rook offers plenty of upside thanks to his soft hands, intangibles, and ability to win 50/50 balls.
incoming “injury-prone” claims
Friggen injury prone ass eagles recievers.
Starting his pro career just like he ended his college days, injured. Smith is an amazing talent but I fear he’s too slight for the rigors of the NFL.
what are you talking about… so a dislocated finger is ending his college days injured? Dude had 12 catches for over 200 yards and 3 tds by that point. This is a minor knee injury that damn near every receiver goes through. stick to baseball my friend
He’s a frail, slight WR in a mans league. Don’t buy the jersey yet….
Desean Jackson OK with the same frail, slight frame at WR.
