Smith recorded 42 tackles (22 solo), including 6.5 sacks, and two passes defended across 16 regular-season games. He also tallied 16 tackles (seven solo), including four sacks, while playing in four postseason games. Smith went from a fringe role player who logged one sack as a rookie to a significant contributor down the stretch of Philadephia's run to Super Bowl LIX. The 2023 first-round pick started 10 of the final 11 games of the regular season, and he regularly played over 70 percent of defensive snaps after Week 12. He also led the team with four sacks in the postseason. Smith appears primed to serve as one of the Eagles' top pass rushers during the 2025 campaign.
Smith (illness) doesn't have an injury designation for Super Bowl LIX on Sunday, Feb. 9 against the Chiefs. Smith missed practice Thursday but was able to return to a limited session Friday. The third-year edge rusher has had a big postseason to date, logging 16 tackles (seven solo), including 4.0 sacks, and one forced fumble across three contests.
Smith (illness) did not participate in Thursday's practice. Smith popped up on Thursday's injury report due to an illness. It's unclear how severe the illness is, but he'll have plenty of time to recover as Super Bowl LIX doesn't take place until Sunday, Feb. 9. The 2023 first-round pick has logged 16 tackles (seven solo) and one forced fumble across the Eagles' three playoff games.
Smith recorded three total tackles (all solo), including 1.0 sacks, in Sunday's 36-33 loss to the Commanders. Smith, a 2023 first-round pick from Georgia, has taken advantage of his increased playing time since Brandon Graham (triceps) has been sidelined over the last four weeks, recording 16 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and one pass defended during that span. The second-year pro has now accumulated 6.5 sacks over 15 appearances this season and is expected to remain one of the Eagles' starting edge rushers in the Week 17 matchup against the Cowboys.
Smith registered four tackles (three solo), including 1.0 sacks, during the Eagles' 27-13 win over the Steelers this past Sunday. Smith sacked Russell Wilson for a 10-yard loss late in the second quarter, which forced the Steelers to settle for a 49-yard field-goal attempt that was successfully converted by Chris Boswell. Smith is up to 5.5 sacks through 14 regular-season games, 3.0 of which have come over the Eagles' last five games. He'll look to add to that total against Jayden Daniels and the Commanders on Sunday.
Smith recorded eight tackles (three solo) including 1.0 sacks during Sunday's 24-19 win at Baltimore. When Brandon Graham was sent to injured reserve with a triceps injury he suffered in Week 12, it was expected that Smith would see an increase in playing time. Sure enough, he played a season-high 57 defensive snaps in Week 13, and he came away with a season-high tackle total to show for it. He appears to be penciled in for a near-every down role for Week 14 versus the Panthers.
Smith recorded two total tackles (both solo), including 1.0 sacks and an additional tackle for loss in Sunday's 28-3 win over the Giants. The 2023 first-round pick has seen increased playing time with Philadelphia's first-team defense over the past two weeks, recording five total tackles, including 2.0 sacks. Smith could continue seeing more work as one of the Eagles' top edge rushers as the season progresses, especially if he keeps playing the way he has over the last two games.
