Smith tallied two stops in the Bears' 24-22 win over the Packers on Sunday.

Smith (ankle) is questionable to return to Sunday's contest against the Cardinals. Smith exited the game in the first half with an ankle injury, leaving his status for the rest of the game uncertain. In Smith's absence, Jaylon Jones is a candidate to see an increase in workload at cornerback.
Smith (hip) was a full participant at the Bears' practice Thursday. Smith appears to be set to return to the field following Chicago's bye week. The cornerback has missed three games in a row while nursing a hip injury and he'll likely return to his role as a primary reserve option behind Jaylon Johnson and Tyrique Stevenson (calf) in Week 8 versus Washington.
Smith (hip) won't travel with the Bears to London for their Week 6 game against the Jaguars, Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com reports.

He's played 23 total snaps so far this season, 22 of which came on special teams.
Smith (hip) has been Scott Bair of Marquee Sports Network ahead of Sunday's matchup against the Panthers. Smith didn't practice all week after missing the Bears' Week 4 win over the Rams due to a hip injury, so it's no surprise that he won't play in Sunday's contest.

Smith (hip) has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Rams. Smith injured his hip against the Colts in Week 3.
