Eagles' DeVonta Smith, Zack Baun Miss Thursday Practice Again

Eagles down two key starters at practice

Philadelphia practiced without two important pieces again Thursday. Wide receiver DeVonta Smith is nursing a hamstring injury, and linebacker Zack Baun is working through the concussion protocol. Neither participated, which puts both their availability in question as the week goes on.

What it means for your survivor pick

Smith's hamstring thins out the passing game, and Baun's concussion is a hit to the defense's middle — two injuries on opposite sides of the ball. If you were leaning on the Eagles this week, don't lock it in until you see how these two trend through Friday's report. A missed practice isn't a ruling, but back-to-back absences raise the odds both are limited or out. The smart move is to keep Philadelphia on your watch list and wait for the final status before committing — and hold a cleaner, fully healthy favorite in your back pocket as a fallback.
