Past illness

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-08-21

Smith (illness) returned to practice Wednesday, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Smith missed Tuesday's practice with an illness, but it appears he's already moved past the issue after returning to the field Wednesday. The 31-year-old outside linebacker has recorded eight-plus sacks in each of his last three seasons, and he's expected to remain a solid pass rusher in 2024.

Falls ill

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-08-20

Smith is being limited by an illness Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

The details of Smith's ailment are unknown at this point. It's not likely the veteran was planning on playing much during the Packers' preseason finale versus the Ravens on Saturday, but if he's absent, it could open up a few additional reps for 2023 first-rounder Lukas Van Ness.

Restructures deal for cap purposes

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-02-28

Smith and the Packers agreed to a restructured contract Wednesday, creating $2.4 million in cap room, Field Yates of ESPN reports.

Smith has three years left on a four-year, $52 million extension he signed in 2022. The veteran edge rusher has at least eight sacks in four of his five seasons with Green Bay and started all 17 games last season on his way to 48 tackles (28 solo), eight sacks and two forced fumbles.

Another productive season

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-23

Smith stacked up 48 tackles (28 solo), 8.0 sacks, four pass deflections and two fumble recoveries over 17 games in the 2023 season.

Smith played a little less than he did in 2022, but he still started every game and recorded at least 8.0 sacks for the fourth time in his five years with the Packers. Green Bay could decide to move on from Smith over the offseason, but they also could choose to retain the proven pass rusher.

Ready to go for divisional round

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-18

Smith (ankle) does not carry an injury designation into Saturday's divisional round contest versus the 49ers, Wes Hodkiewicz of the Packers official website reports.

Smith was considered a limited participant at the Packers' walk-through Wednesday and he followed it up with a limited practice session Thursday, apparently doing enough to shed an injury designation for Saturday's game. The linebacker recorded a sack and a pass deflection in Green Bay's 48-32 win over the Cowboys in the wild-card round.

Limited Wednesday

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-17

Smith (ankle) was limited in Wednesday's practice.

Smith has been dealing with the ankle issue for a couple weeks but was able to play through it in the wild-card upset of the Cowboys last weekend. After being estimated as DNP Tuesday, Wednesday's limited session is a good sign for his Saturday availability against the 49ers.

Doesn't practice Tuesday

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-16

Smith (ankle) did not participate at practice Tuesday, Matt Schneidman of The Athletic reports.

Smith played through his ankle injury during Sunday's win at Dallas, so it's possible the Packers are just giving him extra rest. If he can manage a full practice Wednesday or Thursday, he could potentially shed his injury designation prior to Saturday.

Ready for Sunday

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-12

Smith (ankle) has no injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Cowboys, Wes Hodklewicz of the Packers' official site reports.

Smith has been hindered by an ankle injury over the last week or so, but it seems as if that issue won't stop him from suiting up in the Packers' wild-card affair. The veteran pass rusher has logged 41.5 sacks in his five-year tenure with Green Bay, and he'll look to cause problems for Dak Prescott and the Cowboys' offense Sunday.

Begins week estimated as limited

RotoWire Logo Published: 2024-01-10

Smith (ankle) was estimated as limited at Wednesday's practice walkthrough.

Smith sat out a pair of practice sessions last week but was ultimately able to suit up for Sunday's win against Chicago. Barring any setbacks, it seems likely that he'll be able to take the field against Dallas in Sunday's wild-card contest. Smith recorded 2.5 sacks over the final three weeks of the campaign and finished with 8.0 sacks overall this season.
