After raising eyebrows by missing the open portion of Friday’s practice, DeVonta Smith’s status for Week 9 against the Jacksonville Jaguars had fans on edge. But fear not, Eagles supporters! Jeff McLane of the Philadelphia Inquirer quickly put those worries to rest, reporting that Smith is “OK and good to go for Sunday.”

Phew! That’s a relief, especially after Smith’s impressive performance in Week 8, where he bounced back with six catches for 85 yards and a touchdown after a rough outing against the Giants. With Doug Pederson’s Jaguars on deck and Dallas looming, Smith is set to be a key player in the Eagles’ game plan.
Nick Sirianni also weighed in on Smith’s grit, highlighting his ability to power through plays instead of stepping out of bounds. Sirianni emphasized the importance of physical toughness, saying, “When you finish the run, it energizes the sideline and the game, just like a big-time catch does.” Eagles fans have plenty to look forward to!
