In what is one of the more surprising things about the Philadelphia Eagles‘ 2025 season, wide receiver DeVonta Smith is the team’s leading receiver.
Entering Week 11, Smith has 657 receiving yards, which is nearly 250 yards more than the team’s supposed No. 1 wide receiver A.J. Brown.
However, Smith is off to a slow start in the Week 11 game against the Detroit Lions. Here’s a closer look at what’s going on.
Is DeVonta Smith playing tonight?
Yes, Smith is active and on the field for the Eagles, and he even received a target on the team’s first drive, he just couldn’t reel it in.
The Eagles didn’t have a great first drive offensively, as quarterback Jalen Hurts completed just one of four passes and the drive lasted just six plays.
Based on what we’ve seen this season, Smith getting going is a matter of when, not if. We’ll see what happens on drive No. 2.
