The Philadelphia Eagles have ruled DeVonta Smith out for the Week 12 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams with a hamstring injury

A.J. Brown missed three games with a hamstring injury and has looked explosive and fluid heading into Week 12.  DeVonta Smith could end up with that same prognosis if it helps the Eagles star get healthy for a playoff run.

Smith has been dealing with a hamstring injury for two weeks now, and he’ll miss his second game of the season after being ruled out on Friday.

Smith was a non-participant in all three of Philadelphia’s practices this week.

Smith has 41 catches for 516 yards (12.6 average) and four touchdowns, but he’s only accounted for six receptions and 43 yards on nine targets over his last two games.

The Eagles will face the Rams on Sunday night, and after placing Bryce Huff on Injured Reserve, Philadelphia could activate Britain Covey with an available roster spot.
