DeVonta Smith Set to Return for Philadelphia Eagles in Week 6 Against Cleveland Browns

Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith is expected to return to action in Week 6 after a full participation in practice this week. Smith had been sidelined since suffering a concussion in Week 3 and missed the Eagles’ Week 4 loss against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

Alongside Smith, fellow wide receiver A.J. Brown, who has been dealing with a hamstring injury, is also anticipated to be back on the field for the Eagles’ matchup against the Cleveland Browns. This dual return is seen as a significant boost for the Eagles as they aim to rebound from their Week 4 loss. The Week 5 bye has provided ample time for both players to recover, and the team is now heavily favored by 9.5 points against the Browns.

Smith had a strong start to the season, playing two games without Brown in the lineup. His return is expected to enhance the Eagles’ passing offense, which has seen some downturns during his and Brown’s absences. In his three games this season, Smith has consistently had seven catches, and he received eight targets in the one game he played with Brown. This trend suggests he could be a key target for quarterback Jalen Hurts in Week 6.

For those interested in betting, prop bets for DeVonta Smith include over/under 5.5 receptions, over/under 61.5 receiving yards, and anytime touchdown at +160. Given his consistent performance and the expected involvement in the game plan, taking the over on his receptions is considered a good value.
