Eagles Designate Nolan Smith for Return from Injured Reserve

The Philadelphia Eagles have designated edge rusher Nolan Smith for return from injured reserve, signaling an impending boost to their defensive line. Smith has been sidelined since Week 3 due to a triceps injury. He is now eligible to practice with the team for the next three weeks and can be activated to the active roster at any point within that timeframe. Before his injury this season, Smith recorded 10 tackles. In the 2024 regular season, he tallied 6.5 sacks and added four more sacks during the playoffs, demonstrating his significant impact. His return complements the recent trade acquisition of Jaelan Phillips, further strengthening the Eagles' edge rusher depth.
