From the episode
He plays Monday night. He played all 50 offensive snaps on Monday night. Now, if the Hamstring was so bad then, he wouldn't have been able to get through the game. He comes out. He did not practice Wednesday or Thursday.
STACKED’s take
Smith out with hamstring; played all snaps Monday, likely aggravated on short week.
Smith suffered a hamstring injury and is expected to be out; Matthew Berry notes he had bad injury luck last year with Omari and Hampton and felt he was on a safe path with Smith, who hasn't been a big injury risk throughout his career despite his size. Smith had a monster game in week two and was rock solid through three weeks. Stefania Bell provides context: Smith played all 50 offensive snaps Monday night, did not practice Wednesday or Thursday, and likely felt the hamstring after that much utilization. With a short week ahead, soft tissue injuries like hamstrings can worsen if pushed, similar to Mike Evans' situation in Tampa Bay. Tim McManus reported not much optimism for Smith to play against the Rams, which makes sense as teams prefer to hold players back early in the season.
