Eagles injuries fuel debate over DeVonta Smith’s role and offensive impact

Several shows discussed Smith’s absence as part of Philadelphia’s injury problems, with Jason Moore saying the Eagles planned to play without him and Ross Tucker listing him among the team’s missing key players.[1][2][3]

Pardon My Take and The Bill Simmons Podcast connected Smith’s absence to Philadelphia’s difficulty moving the ball against the Rams, while Pardon My Take called the Eagles’ offense a preseason roster.[4][5]

Fantasy Footballers debated whether Jalen Hurts was the larger problem, with Mike Wright citing Smith’s absence and Jason Moore saying Hurts lacked his true number-one receiver.[6]

Fantasy Footballers also criticized Hurts for targeting Smith in double coverage instead of open teammates, while Pardon My Take used an open Smith missed by Hurts to criticize Hurts’s passing outside the pocket.[7][8]

The shows did not uniformly portray Smith negatively: Bill Simmons said the Smith-Hurts connection was something to hold onto, and Ross Tucker described Hurts getting the ball to Smith during a late winning drive.[9][10]
