BREAKING: Eagles place Nolan Smith on IR, expected to return by November 10th

The Philadelphia Eagles will be without one of their most dynamic young defenders for at least the next month. Nolan Smith, the third-year edge rusher whose Super Bowl triceps injury required offseason surgery, has landed on injured reserve after re-aggravating the same muscle. The timetable means he’ll miss a minimum of four games, with the Eagles hoping the damage isn’t more severe.
