The Philadelphia Eagles expect to be without wide receiver DeVonta Smith for their Week 4 game against the Los Angeles Rams. Smith is dealing with a hamstring injury and has not practiced this week after playing through it last week. The Eagles, already facing depth challenges with tight end Dallas Goedert sidelined and running back Saquon Barkley yet to score, will lean on Dontayvion Wicks and other receivers like Makai Lemon and Darius Cooper to step up. Wicks has shown promise this season with nine receptions for 179 yards, while Lemon has struggled with only seven catches.
