by Eagles inactive: DeVonta Smith out against Ravens originally appeared on NBC Sports Philadelphia
BALTIMORE – The Eagles will be without star wide receiver DeVonta Smith on Sunday against the Ravens.
Smith, 26, will miss his second straight game with a hamstring injury. Smith returned to practice on a limited basis Thursday and Friday this week, but was unable to return.
While Smith pushed to play and even did some light warmups on Sunday, the Eagles are holding him out another week with a soft tissue injury.
Here is the Eagles’ full list of inactives:
WR DeVonta Smith (hamstring)
CB Darius Slay (concussion)
WR Johnny Wilson (hamstring)
QB Tanner McKee
Trevor Keegan of OL
OL Darian Kinnard
Nick Gates of OL
Without Smith and Wilson, the Eagles’ receivers for this game will be AJ Brown, Jahan Dotson, Ainias Smith, Britain Covey and Parris Campbell. The Eagles signed Campbell to their 53-man practice squad roster on Saturday.
The Eagles ruled Slay out on Friday due to a concussion he suffered against the Rams. In his place, Isaiah Rodgers will make his second start of the season. Rodgers played 184 defensive snaps this season replacing Slay.
“Yeah, he did well when he was out there this year,” defensive coordinator Vic Fangio said this week of Rodgers. “I would expect that to continue.”
Tight end CJ Uzomah and LB Ochaun Mathis are both active for this game after being cut from the practice squad on Saturday. Mathis will likely handle special teams duties for Ben VanSumeren, who is on IR after suffering a season-ending knee injury during Friday’s practice.
