Eagles WR DeVonta Smith Battles Illness, Injury
27 Nov
Summary
- DeVonta Smith missed practice due to shoulder/chest injuries and illness.
- Smith suffered injuries during the recent game against the Dallas Cowboys.
- The Eagles face a strong Chicago Bears team with a four-game winning streak.

The Philadelphia Eagles are facing uncertainty heading into their Week 13 matchup against the Chicago Bears, as key wide receiver DeVonta Smith did not practice on Wednesday. Smith is reportedly dealing with shoulder and chest injuries, compounded by a newly developed illness. This comes after he also missed practice on Tuesday due to his injuries.
Smith sustained these injuries during the Eagles' recent Week 12 loss to the Dallas Cowboys, a game where Philadelphia saw a significant lead evaporate. Quarterback Jalen Hurts emphasized the team's need to improve their ability to close out games, reflecting on the 24-21 defeat.
The Eagles, despite their recent struggles, currently hold a strong 8-3 record and lead the NFC East. However, they are set to face a formidable Chicago Bears team that has been on an impressive four-game winning streak.
