Smith injured his hamstring during last week's game against the Jaguars. He didn't practice on Wednesday and was a limited participant in Thursday's practice.

The Eagles haven't yet released Friday's injury report or issued a game status for the receiver, but it sounds like the hamstring shouldn't be an issue this week.

All four of the #Eagles who landed on Thursday’s as limited participants, T Fred Johnson (knee), WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring), EDGE Nolan Smith (groin) and LB Ben VanSumeren were all participating in practice.
