What happened: Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is listed as questionable with a hamstring injury after missing Saturday's practice ahead of Week 8. Quarterback Tanner McKee faces the prospect of operating the passing game without his statistical leader in receptions and receiving yards, per Ed Werder.

Why it matters: McKee leaned on the wideout during his first start on Oct. 18, when McKee connected with Smith for a fourth-quarter touchdown to trim the deficit to one score in a 25-14 loss. Philadelphia sits 11th in the conference standings while trying to halt a month-long slide.

By the numbers: Smith averages 6.5 receptions, 77.5 receiving yards and 11.9 yards per catch across four active appearances in the 2026 regular season.

What to watch: Philadelphia announces its final active roster 90 minutes before Monday night's Week 8 kickoff.
