DeVonta Smith isn’t playing in today’s Philadelphia Eagles vs. Jacksonville Jaguars game because of a hamstring injury. Philadelphia officially ruled the wide receiver out on Friday, October 9, ahead of its NFL Week 5 matchup in London on Sunday, October 11, 2026.
The Eagles confirmed Smith’s status in their official Week 5 injury report.
What Happened to DeVonta Smith?
Smith continues to deal with a hamstring injury that also kept him out of Philadelphia’s Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. His absence against Jacksonville marks his second consecutive missed game.
The injury has prevented Smith from returning to the lineup, leaving the Eagles without one of their leading receiving options for the London matchup.
Is DeVonta Smith Out for the Entire Game?
Yes. Smith was officially designated out before Sunday’s game. He was not heading into kickoff as a questionable player or a game-time decision.
For fantasy football managers, that means Smith should be on the bench for Week 5.
When Will DeVonta Smith Return?
The Eagles’ Week 5 injury report did not provide a confirmed return date for Smith. His status for the next game remains uncertain, and upcoming practice participation and team injury reports will provide the clearest updates.
Being ruled out against Jacksonville does not, by itself, establish how much additional time he will miss.
Who Else Is Out for the Eagles?
Philadelphia is also missing running back Saquon Barkley, who has a hamstring injury, and wide receiver Hollywood Brown, who has an ankle injury. Center/guard Drew Kendall and safety Marcus Epps were also ruled out in the team’s Friday report.
Those absences leave the Eagles with fewer offensive options against Jacksonville, although tight end Dallas Goedert is set to return to the lineup.
