Why isn’t DeVonta Smith playing today for Eagles vs Cowboys in 2026 NFL Week 7 MNF?

The Philadelphia Eagles will start Monday Night Football without top receiver DeVonta Smith, who is ruled out with a lingering hamstring injury. The 27‑year‑old missed all practice this week, and head coach Nick Sirianni opts for long‑term health over short‑term gain. The Eagles also lose rookie wideout Dontayvion Wicks to an ankle issue, leaving the passing attack depleted. Veteran tight end Dallas Goedert (17 catches, 180 yards, 2 TDs) becomes the primary target, while young wideout Makai Lemon is expected to see a boost in snaps. Smith currently leads the team with 310 yards and two touchdowns in four games.
