DeVonta Smith

DeVonta Smith (hamstring) did not practice on Thursday.

Smith has missed both practices to start the week and is at serious risk of missing Week 12’s game against the Rams if he can’t get on the field in some capacity on Friday. He has been dealing with the same hamstring injury since the days leading up to Week 10’s game against the Cowboys, but things seem to have gotten worse as of late. This is the first time Smith has missed two practices as a result of the injury, making Friday’s practice all the more vital to his Week 12 availability. We’ll see where things go on Friday, but fantasy managers should get their backup plans in place now.
