Eagles DeVonta Smith ankle sprain in loss to Cardinals, injury not major: report

Philadelphia Eagles' DeVonta Smith suffers minor ankle sprain, potentially missing first game of his career, impacting team's playoff run.

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith was seen leaving the team locker room on crutches and with a boot on his right foot after suffering a minor ankle sprain in Sunday's loss to the Arizona Cardinals. The injury occurred while blocking on a third-and-19 bubble screen pass in the fourth quarter of the game.

Despite the injury, it is not considered a major one, and Smith has yet to miss a game in his three seasons in the NFL. He has been a consistent player for the Eagles, with 240 catches for 3,178 yards and 19 touchdowns in his career, including 81 catches for 1,066 yards and seven touchdowns this season.

However, with the Eagles needing a win and a Dallas Cowboys loss in Week 18 to win the NFC East, Smith could potentially miss his first game of his career. This could have an impact on the team's playoff aspirations, as they will need Smith to go deep in the playoffs, whether they win the NFC East or go on the road in the wild card round.
