Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith suffered a concussion after a brutal helmet-to-helmet hit during the game against the New Orleans Saints. The hit was severe enough to knock his helmet off, and Smith was subsequently evaluated in the medical tent before being ruled out for the remainder of the game. The Eagles, already missing A.J. Brown and Brit Covey, now face the challenge of holding onto a 7-6 lead with 9:40 left in the game without their star receiver. Jake Elliott also missed a 60-yard field goal attempt, leaving the Saints with the ball at midfield. Head coach Nick Sirianni was seen kneeling next to Smith, and no flags were thrown on the play.
