Arrested on speeding charges
Smith was arrested last Friday in Georgia and is accused of speeding and reckless driving, Tim McManus of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
According to a representative of the Twiggs County Sheriff's Office, Smith's vehicle was clocked at 130 miles per hour in a 70 mph zone while the 25-year-old was driving on the interstate. A court date for Smith's case has been set for July 14, though he wouldn't have to appear if he agrees to pay the fines associated with his citations. A 2023 first-round draft pick, Smith has accrued 10.5 sacks and 25 quarterback hits over 45 career games during the regular season and was a standout performer in the Eagles' run to the Super Bowl in 2024, when he racked up 4.0 sacks in four playoff contests.

2023 Fantasy Outlook
Smith looked like a potential top-10 pick in the 2023 Draft but fell all the way to pick No. 30, where the Eagles snapped him up to join their group of young Georgia defenders. His 4.39 speed is his calling card, but it does come with small size, as he checks in at 6-2, 238 pounds. Smith didn't post elite sack numbers in college, topping out at 4.5 as a junior, and his unique profile makes him hard to project. That said, he has the makings of an NFL edge rusher and will have a great example to learn from in teammate Haason Reddick.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
To miss several weeks
Smith suffered a strained triceps in a Week 3 win over the Rams and was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, Adam Schefter and Tim McManus of ESPN report.
ANALYSIS
The earliest Smith will be eligible to return is for a Week 10 Monday night matchup against the Packers. The third-year linebacker, who posted 6.5 sacks, 11 total quarterback hits and eight total tackles for loss during the 2024 regular season, had yet to record a sack through three games this season. However, his eight quarterback pressures ranked second on the Eagles behind Jalyx Hunt.
