Defensive coordinator Bill Davis spoke prior to Friday’s practice, giving an update on Marcus Smith. The timetable for Smith’s return is currently unknown, but Davis did explain how the defense will adjust …
On Marcus Smith and the OLBs:
Bill Davis: The #Eagles don't know the severity of Marcus Smith's hamstring injury. Will accelerate Vinny Curry's role at OLB
Davis on Smith: I'm glad it wasn't major, he was taking some growth steps. It is a setback. Smith will definitely not play this week
