DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun Among Philadelphia Eagles Players Ruled Out vs. Los Angeles Rams
DeVonta Smith has 19 catches for 235 yards and a touchdown this season, and the Eagles may turn to Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon instead.
- On Sunday, October 4, the Philadelphia Eagles faced the Los Angeles Rams while dealing with significant roster absences, including wide receiver DeVonta Smith and linebacker Zack Baun, both ruled out Friday due to injuries.
- Smith is expected to miss multiple games with a lingering right hamstring injury that initially sidelined him during training camp, per The Philadelphia Inquirer; Eagles beat reporter Tim McManus noted there is "not much optimism" regarding his return.
- Linebacker Jeremiah Trotter Jr. started against Los Angeles in place of Baun, who remained in concussion protocol after playing 91.7% of defensive snaps during the team's loss to the Chicago Bears last week.
- Despite ruling out defensive tackle Aaron Donald, tight end Terrance Ferguson, and cornerback Jaylen Watson, Los Angeles saw All-Pro wide receiver Puka Nacua return to action after missing two games with a groin injury.
- With Smith sidelined, Dontayvion Wicks—who signed a one-year, $10.5 million extension this offseason—is expected to lead the passing attack alongside rookie Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper.
