What happened: Tim McManus and Mike Garafolo reported there is little optimism Smith will play Sunday against Los Angeles. The Eagles wide receiver has missed practice time this week because of a hamstring injury.

Why it matters: The update keeps Philadelphia moving toward the same outcome flagged earlier this week as it readies for the Rams. A Sunday scratch would remove a major target from the Eagles offense in a regular-season matchup.

What to watch: The next Eagles practice reports should show whether Smith gets back on the field before kickoff. His final game status will shape Philadelphia's receiving group for Sunday.
