DeVonta Smith Faces 2nd Straight Absence With Hamstring for Week 5 Jaguars Game

3 articles · Updated · NBC Sports · Oct 4

Week 5 is now in doubt for DeVonta Smith, with NFL Network reporting he is "at very best" questionable for the Eagles' Jaguars game in London.
A hamstring injury already ruled Smith out for Week 4, making a second straight absence a realistic possibility for Philadelphia.
Dontayvion Wicks currently projects as the Eagles' top wideout if Smith cannot play, while first-round rookie Makai Lemon could see an expanded role.
For fantasy managers, the injury outlook points to planning around Smith's absence again next week rather than expecting a quick return.
