Eagles' Jalen Hurts faces challenge with DeVonta Smith likely out against Rams
Summary

Ahead of their Week 4 matchup, the Rams may have caught a break as Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith is likely out due to a hamstring injury. Smith’s absence leaves quarterback Jalen Hurts with limited receiving options, complemented by tight end Dallas Goedert also sidelined. The Eagles may rely on less experienced receivers such as Dontayvion Wicks and rookie Makai Lemon. Meanwhile, the Rams are dealing with their own injury issues, including cornerback Jaylen Watson and potentially Aaron Donald. The game is set to kick off at 10 a.m. on Sunday at Lincoln Financial Field.
