Eagles' Nolan Smith Placed on Injured Reserve Following Offseason Surgery
September 25, 2025 - 01:29
The Philadelphia Eagles have officially placed rookie pass rusher Nolan Smith on injured reserve due to ongoing issues with a torn triceps. Smith underwent surgery during the offseason to address this injury, but it has continued to hinder his performance on the field.
The decision to place him on injured reserve means that Smith will be sidelined for a significant portion of the season, limiting the Eagles' defensive options. This move comes as a blow to the team, which had high hopes for Smith after he was selected in the first round of the NFL Draft.
Smith's absence will be felt as the Eagles look to maintain their defensive prowess in a highly competitive league. The team will now need to rely on other players to step up in his absence, as they aim to keep their playoff ambitions alive. The Eagles organization remains hopeful for Smith's recovery and future contributions once he returns to full health.
