DE Chris Smith getting a shot with first team in practice
Jacksonville Jaguars defensive end Chris Smith (98) rushes against the Pittsburg Steelers during the first half of NFL football preseason action Friday night. The Jacksonville Jaguars hosted the Pittsburg Steelers at EverBank Field in Jacksonville, Fla., Friday, August 14, 2015.Defensive end Chris Smith, who was fighting for a Jaguars roster spot just a week ago, worked with the first team in practice Sunday.
Smith said he was surprised when the coaches told him to play with the first team at the right end or Leo position in 11 on 11 drills to replace Andre Branch, who suffered an MCL injury against the Detroit Lions last Friday night.
