Smith became a “limited participant” in Thursday practice. NFL Network insider Mike Garafolo added one more tidbit involving Smith.
“Still hearing optimism he’ll play Sunday. We’ll see,” Garafolo posted on the social media website X, formerly Twitter.

Garafolo added how running back Saquon Barkley is another who’s facing an injury. The Super Bowl winning back remained sidelined by coach Nick Sirianni and his team.
But Smith sounds like he’s trending upward toward possibly playing after all against the Carolina Panthers. Smith has caught 19 passes for 235 yards and has scored just one touchdown this season.
Philly in general has gotten off to a slow start. Leaving many to teeter towards writing off this Eagles team as they’ll enter Sunday with an underwhelming 2-3 mark.
The Eagles have already drawn heat for struggling to close out games this season. A Los Angeles Rams team Philadelphia defeated four straight times scored twice in the final five minutes to win 24-20. And that Rams win got delivered in front of fans inside Lincoln Financial Field.
Then Philly watched Cam Little of the Jacksonville Jaguars boot a 57-yard field goal to win in walk off fashion 19-17. Now the Eagles and Siranni enter week six on the hot seat.
But things turned worse outside of the Smith update. Quarterback Jalen Hurts is dealing with a blood clot in his leg that’ll hinder him for the Panthers showdown. So Smith likely will catch passes from a different QB should he become cleared to play.
