DeVonta Smith set to return from hamstring as Eagles ramp up for Week 2
Wideout DeVonta Smith appears ready to practice again after a hamstring issue, while defensive back Cooper DeJean also suited up Monday.
DeVonta Smith looks poised to rejoin Eagles practice after a hamstring scare, a welcome sign for a Philadelphia receiving corps that wants its top trio healthy entering the preseason's second week.

Smith, listed as limited with a hamstring on Monday's practice report, was seen getting ready to go again, an indication the issue is minor. Defensive back Cooper DeJean, who has been dealing with a groin injury, also suited up — another positive health signal for the Eagles.
Keeping Smith on the field matters: the Eagles are scheduled to face the Patriots in joint work this week, and having their No. 2 receiver available for reps is a key part of the offensive install. Past soft-tissue issues have made the staff cautious with skill players in camp, but Smith's return to the practice field suggests this one won't keep him out long.
