- If healthy, DeVonta Smith could have a monster game against the Panthers.
Carolina is down to its third- and fourth-string cornerbacks.
“if he's healthy going up against these guys, he could really have a monster game against the Panthers”
Smith returned from a hamstring injury on 2026-10-18 and had 7 catches for 75 yards and 1 TD on 14 targets in a 25-14 loss. That was solid but short of monster. Backup QB Tanner McKee started for Philadelphia.

In context
KapadiaTed O 'McMillan is their number one wide receiver, 385 yards. And then Jalen Coker is their number two. Those are the two guys you have to worry about. In terms of where you can attack them, it's really similar to last week. O -line is not great. They've got injuries. Their first round pick, Monroe Freeling, the tackle, did not practice Wednesday.
KapadiaTheir guard, Damian Lewis, limited with an elbow injury. So this could be a game where you could really get after them with your pass rush. Their offensive line is gettable.
KapadiaDefensively, big injuries at cornerback. They lost their two starting cornerbacks who were both good players and had been playing well. And so they got a third stringer and a fourth stringer at cornerback. That's really where you can attack them. So you said the Saquon injury is big, which is true. I think the Devontae Smith injury is just as big, if not bigger.
KapadiaBecause if he's healthy going up against these guys, he could really have a monster game against the Panthers. So I think it's mostly a mediocre defense that can look very bad at times. But, you know, you can't really say that with the way this Eagles offense is playing. So there you go. That's the rundown on the Panthers.
KapadiaZB, I saw this line moved, I believe, where the Eagles are now underdogs, home underdogs. So I don't know if that's just because of the injury report. If it's because of something else, they were one and a half point favorites when I first started prepping for the pod, injury report comes out, and now they're one and a half point underdogs.
KapadiaIf the Eagles win this game, ZB, what are we talking about?
Yeah, so I mean.
