Smith (leg) was placed on injured reserve Monday. Smith was injured during Cincinnati's joint practice with the Bears on Thursday and exited the stadium on crutches. He subsequently underwent an MRI, and it appears that those results have confirmed a season-ending injury.
Smith (leg) is expected to miss the 2024 season with a patellar tendon injury, but MRI results should confirm the exact nature of the injury, Jeremy Fowler of ESPN.com reports. Smith was carted off the field during Cincinnati's joint practice with Chicago on Thursday, and the worst-case scenario will likely be the result. The 6-foot-5 offensive tackle's MRI could return a different outcome, but it is more than likely he's out for the year.
Smith (leg) was on crutches after being carted off from the Bengals' joint practice with the Bears on Thursday, Kelsey Conway of The Cincinnati Enquirer reports. The 2021 fourth-round pick is listed as the team's third right tackle behind Trent Brown and Amarius Mims. Smith has played in three games in his career and started one.
The 25-year-old popped up on Cincinnati's injury report Thursday with a knee issue, and he was unable to practice Friday, so it's no surprise that he's not expected to be active for Sunday's affair. Smith's last in-game action came in 2022, and he's appeared in three games over the course of his NFL career.
