Smith was the best player on offense by a mile and deserved his touchdown. He received one of McKee's two lovely throws over the middle on a shotgun drive, and the source credits him with quality receiving play in a game where much else was making offense difficult. Smith's performance stood out despite the Eagles' overall offensive struggles against the Panthers secondary.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
Smith was force-fed by McKee in the fourth quarter, generating five catches for 53 yards and a touchdown; he finished the game with 7 catches for 75 yards and a touchdown, showing he can be a primary target when the Eagles offense needs to establish rhythm.PositiveUsageOct 19, 2026
WR showed strong late-game usage when McKee force-fed him in the fourth quarter. Smith generated five catches for 53 yards and a TD in the final quarter, finishing the game with 7 catches for 75 yards and one TD.

DeVonta Smith is questionable for Week 6 against the Carolina Panthers.PositiveInjuryOct 15, 2026
Smith participated in practice for the first time since missing the Eagles' last two games, listed as limited on Thursday. That he was limited and not full raises the question if he'll be ready to suit up on Sunday, but now it seems like there's at least a chance of it happening. McKee could sure use Smitty out there.NegativeUsageOct 15, 2026
Context for McKee's performance variance in Week 18: McKee "did look better when DeVonta Smith was in the game early on to help put him over 1,000 receiving yards last season. And then a lot worse once Smith left." Smith is potentially unavailable for the upcoming game against Carolina, which would further limit McKee's offensive weapons and receiving options.NegativeInjuryOct 14, 2026
Smith did not participate in Wednesday's practice with hamstring and toe injuries, an upgrade from his previous hamstring-only listing. Missing Wednesday's practice is not encouraging for his availability against Carolina. He appears in jeopardy of missing his third straight game.PositiveInjuryOct 14, 2026

His return would be a positive development for an offense described as arguably the worst in the NFL.NegativeRoleOct 12, 2026
DeVonta Smith was mentioned as a key offensive weapon currently unavailable due to injury. The source notes that when the Eagles get Smith, Saquon Barkley, and Drew Kendall back on offense, it will be important to evaluate whether the team improves.
