Still getting testing on neck
Smith (neck) did not participate at practice Wednesday. Per Connor Hughes of SNY.tv, coach Jeff Ulbrich said Wednesday that Smith is getting additional imaging done to assess the neck injury he sustained in Week 10 at Arizona. If he can't return to practice Thursday or Friday, he likely won't be able to play Sunday against the Colts.
