DeVonta Smith has opened the 2026 season with 19 receptions on 27 targets across three games for the Eagles, establishing a clear lead in targets as the top wideout following A.J. Brown’s offseason trade. A lingering hamstring injury has sidelined him for Week 4 and left him questionable or likely out for Week 5 at Jacksonville, with non-participation in recent practices raising the risk of additional missed time. The Eagles’ skill-position group is further depleted by injuries to Saquon Barkley, Marquise Brown, and Dallas Goedert, which could compress or spread targets depending on Smith’s return timeline and the health of backups like Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon. Jalen Hurts’ passing volume and the team’s overall offensive efficiency will shape Smith’s opportunity for the balance of the 17-game schedule.
