Marcus Smith expected to miss multiple weeks after hamstring injury

There was a fear that Eagles linebacker Marcus Smith suffered a season-ending injury on Thursday when he needed a cart to return to the locker room after suffering an injury to his right leg, but Smith quickly put those fears to rest by announcing he’d “tweaked” his hamstring.

Smith is still going to miss a chunk of time, however. Smith said he expects to miss 2-3 weeks as a result of the injury, which came just as defensive coordinator Bill Davis said Smith was making strides after the 2014 first-round pick had a dismal rookie season.
