DeVonta Smith News
Friday, October 30, 12:14 PM
Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith (hamstring) has been ruled out for Sunday's Week 8 matchup against the Washington Commanders, according to Dave Zangaro of NBC Sports Philadelphia. Smith was listed as a nonparticipant on Wednesday's estimated injury report, missed Thursday's practice, and remained sidelined Friday. He will miss his second consecutive game and fourth in the past five weeks due to the lingering hamstring injury. The 27-year-old has caught 26 passes for 310 yards and two touchdowns in four appearances this season, including seven receptions for 75 yards and a score against Carolina in Week 6. Rookie Makai Lemon stepped up against Dallas last week, catching seven of eight targets for 67 yards and a touchdown. With Dontayvion Wicks (ankle) also ruled out, Lemon should remain Philadelphia's leading wide receiver option, while Dallas Goedert offers another established target for quarterback Tanner McKee.

George Pickens News
Sunday, November 1, 4:29 PM
Dallas Cowboys wide receiver George Pickens had a quiet game in his team's 33-30 loss to the Arizona Cardinals in Week 8, recording just two catches for 48 yards on four targets. It was a rare off-game for the Dallas passing attack overall, as Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott was held under 200 passing yards for the first time since Week 1. Pickens had been riding a hot streak himself entering Week 8, logging five consecutive games with at least 70 receiving yards or a touchdown. However, his status as the clear number two option in the Dallas passing game behind star wideout CeeDee Lamb can lead to inconsistency in games where the Cowboys offense is not clicking. Still, Pickens remains a must-start wide receiver and has a golden opportunity to bounce back in Week 9 against the Indianapolis Colts.
