Philadelphia Eagles Injury History & Analysis

The Eagles activated Edge Nolan Smith from IR ahead of tonight's game against the Packers. It'll be his first game action since Week 3 because of a triceps injury. Smith had just 1 QB hit and no sacks through his three games before going down, so he's not much of an IDP option tonight -- and might not prove especially fantasy-relevant going forward. But he did get hot over the second half of last season, logging 8 sacks and 13 QB hits over his final 11 contests, including the playoffs. Smith's worth keeping an eye on.

Eagles DT Jalen Carter is inactive for tonight's game against the Giants. He popped up on the Wednesday injury report with a heel issue and entered Thursday questionable. Carter came out for warm-ups with his cleats on and had been expected to workout to determine if he would play, but that decision wound up being made with no workout.

The Eagles on Wednesday placed Edge Nolan Smith on IR after he tweaked the same triceps that he tore (and played through) in the Super Bowl victory over Kansas City. The designation knocks him out for at least the next four games.
