Eagles' Star WR2 Is Determined to Recover From Injury in Time for the Showdown Against the Cowboys.

He’s not the loudest voice in the room. He doesn’t ask for attention, doesn’t chase the spotlight. But when it comes to rivalry week—especially Cowboys week—he doesn’t miss a step.

After sitting out of practice due to back tightness, the Eagles’ No. 2 wide receiver has made it his mission to return before the lights shine brightest. And with Dallas looming on the schedule, every stretch, rep, and treatment has a purpose.

Team sources say he’s been locked in—arriving early for rehab, staying late to review film, and pushing trainers for more each day. There’s no panic in the building, but there is urgency. Because for him, the rivalry means more than just standings—it’s about pride.

“You don’t miss Dallas week,” a teammate said. “He knows that. He’s working like it’s the playoffs already.”

Last season, he was a key piece in the Eagles' aerial attack—posting over 1,000 yards and countless clutch catches. His route running, timing with Hurts, and big-play ability have become a staple in Philly’s offense. So even a minor setback is being handled with care.

Coaches expect him back soon, possibly within the week. But it’s clear: whether he’s cleared today or on gameday itself, he’s doing everything to be ready for the showdown.

His name is DeVonta Smith. And if you know anything about him—you know he won’t let the Cowboys game happen without a fight.
