  • No offensive snaps

    Smith didn't play any offensive snaps and was stripped of his job as starting punt returner in Sunday's 23-10 win over the Broncos.

    Analysis: Smith dealt with illness during the week, but his role reduction also comes after he was criticized by Carolina's coaching staff for fumbling in Week 11. With him not involved offensively, Laviska Shenault assumed the Panthers' third wideout role, while Raheem Blackshear replaced him returning punts. However, with Blackshear muffing a punt during the second quarter, Smith replaced him for one return (a fair catch) before Blackshear ultimately reclaimed the spot. As the team now embarks on its…read more

  • Cleared to play in Week 12

    Smith (illness) practiced fully Friday and doesn't carry an injury designation into Sunday's game against the Broncos.

    Analysis: Smith missed practice Wednesday and Thursday due to an illness but has recovered in time to get the green light for Sunday's game against Denver. He was called out by the coaching staff for fumbling on a punt return in the Week 11 loss to Baltimore, but Smith doesn't appear to have been demoted from that special-teams role. He also plays regularly on offense, though his impact has been limited, as Smith has topped 30 receiving yards only once in 2022.

  • Remains questionable

    Smith (illness) was listed as a non-participant on Thursday's practice report.

    Analysis: Smith was also unable to practice Wednesday, giving him back-to-back DNP's ahead of Sunday's contest with the Broncos. With Terrace Marshall (shoulder) also questionable for Week 12, the Panthers could be depleted at wide receiver come game time.

  • Dealing with illness

    Smith didn't practice Wednesday due to an illness.

    Analysis: Smith is under the weather to start Week 12 prep, but he'll have two more days to overcome the aliment before the team needs to make a decision on his status for Sunday's matchup against Denver. If Smith is sidelined this weekend, Laviska Shenault will likely be the main beneficiary from a playing-time standpoint.

  • Fumbles in loss

    Smith caught four of five targets for 26 yards and lost one of his two fumbles in Sunday's 13-3 loss to the Ravens.

    Analysis: Smith's four grabs tied for his most this season, but his fumble hurt his team in an underwhelming defeat. On the bright side, Smith supplanted Laviska Shenault to play 60 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, the third-highest share among Panthers receivers.

  • Catches lone look

    Smith caught his only target for a 17-yard gain in Thursday night's 25-15 win over the Falcons.

    Analysis: Smith made his usual contribution, as he now sports 10 catches through 10 games this season. On Thursday, though, he was out-snapped by Laviska Shenault, who totaled five touches for 59 yards and a touchdown. While Shenault holds more explosive upside than Smith, the latter has at least makes the stat sheet as a depth pass catcher each week.

  • Makes one grab

    Smith caught one of two targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 42-21 loss to the Bengals.

    Analysis: Smith played 80 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps. While that involvement helps his fantasy relevancy, Smith has managed more than one catch in only two of his nine appearances thus far, capping his value.

  • Just one look

    Smith didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 37-34 overtime loss to the Falcons.

    Analysis: Smith's 38 offensive snaps trailed only DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall among Carolina's wideouts, but he was unable to make an impact. In contrast, Laviska Shenault gathered five of six targets for 26 yards despite playing 15 snaps fewer than Smith, offering notable competition that hurts Smith's already tepid fantasy value.

  • Quiet day

    Smith failed to see a target in Sunday's 21-3 win over the Buccaneers on Sunday.

    Analysis: Smith saw his second lowest snap total of the season while being on the field for 50 percent of the team's offensive plays, despite the trade of Robbie Anderson to the Cardinals. This was also his second straight game without a catch, leaving him stuck at eight receptions for 105 yards on the season. He also had a punt return for zero yards. He'll work to get more involved in a friendlier fantasy matchup in Week 8 against the Falcons.

  • No catches Sunday

    Smith didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 24-10 loss to the Rams.

    Analysis: Smith posted a goose egg while seeing the Panthers lose their fourth quarterback of the season to injury, as P.J. Walker exited with a neck issue. While it remains unclear who will be under center for Week 7's matchup versus the Buccaneers, leaving a considerable question mark over an already underwhelming passing game, Monday's trade of fellow wideout Robbie Anderson could increase Smith's amount of opportunities going forward.

  • Leads Carolina in receiving

    Smith caught four of five targets for 69 yards in Sunday's 37-15 loss to the 49ers.

    Analysis: The second-year slot receiver put together his best performance of the year while leading the Panthers in receiving yards. Smith had only four catches on the season coming into Week 5, as there hasn't been much volume to go around in a struggling Carolina offense. If P.J. Walker takes over for an injured Baker Mayfield (ankle) in Week 6 against the Rams, it may not have a big impact on Smith's production.

  • No catches in loss

    Smith didn't catch either of his two targets in Sunday's 26-16 loss to the Cardinals.

    Analysis: Smith also fumbled a punt return but was saved by Carolina recovering his miscue. Although he holds limited fantasy value in a struggling Panthers passing game, Smith's continued status as the team's third wideout at least gets him consistent playing time.

  • Catches both targets

    Smith caught both of his targets for 22 yards in Sunday's 22-14 win over the Saints.

    Analysis: Smith again played the third-most snaps of Carolina's wide receivers, but after Laviska Shenault broke off a 67-yard touchdown on one of his receptions, Smith's place in the pecking order could come under threat ahead of Week 4's matchup versus the Cardinals. In an offense that's struggled in the passing game thus far, sliding down the depth chart could shrink Smith's already-restricted value.

  • Drops two passes

    Smith caught just one of six targets for two yards in Sunday's 19-16 loss to the Giants.

    Analysis: Smith also handled punt-return duties, gaining 17 yards on two tries. As a wideout, however, he disappointed by dropping a pair of passes. Although he still played over 70 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, Smith's poor performance could open the door for Terrace Marshall and/or Rashard Higgins to get more chances in Week 3 versus the Saints.

  • Available Week 2

    Smith (groin) is officially active for Sunday's game against the Giants.

    Analysis: The 23-year-old was added to the injury report with the groin issue Friday and was listed as questionable after sitting out practice, but he's been cleared to play Sunday in New York. He worked as Carolina's No. 3 wideout and played 76 percent of the offensive snaps in the season opener. Smith caught one of three targets for 12 yards in that contest, and he'll also operate as the team's primary punt returner going forward after Andre Roberts (knee) was placed on injured reserve.

  • Questionable with groin injury

    Smith (groin) is questionable for Sunday's game against the Giants, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith was a late addition to the injury report after missing practice entirely Friday, but coach Matt Rhule described Smith as on the "positive" side of questionable, per David Newton of ESPN. His absence would be significant because Smith played a starting role in Carolina's season opener and was expected to return punts this week. If Smith sits out Sunday, Laviska Shenault or DJ Moore would be the leading candidates to be the Panthers' punt returner, while Terrace Marshall or Rashard Higgins…read more

  • Set to take over punt-return duties

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said Wednesday that Smith will operate as the team's primary punt returner while Andre Roberts (knee) is on injured reserve, Schuyler Callihan of SI.com reprots.

    Analysis: Roberts was diagnosed with a PCL sprain and will be forced to miss at least four games after landing on IR, leaving Smith to take over as the punt returner and Chuba Hubbard to handle kick returns. Smith didn't return any punts as a rookie, but his skill set figures to fit the position well.

  • Serves as third wideout

    Smith caught one of three targets for 12 yards in Sunday's 26-24 loss to the Browns.

    Analysis: Smith played over 75 percent of Carolina's offensive snaps, while neither Terrace Marshall nor Rashard Higgins saw the field despite being active. While DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson are undoubtedly the Panthers' top two wideouts, the team's No. 3 could wind up providing some value as well if one of Smith, Marshall or Higgins can decisively claim the job.

  • Tallies 19-yard touchdown

    Smith caught three of his four targets for 32 yards and a touchdown in Friday's preseason win over the Bills.

    Analysis: Smith started over Rashard Higgins and alongside DJ Moore and Terrace Marshall. Robbie Anderson (quadriceps) was out, so Smith is still likely the team's third receiver at best, but he made a strong case for a role in the regular season with his performance Friday. Most notable was his 19-yard touchdown reception early in the second quarter, when he split Buffalo's defense down the seam.

  • Expected to start Friday

    Smith is expected to start Friday's preseason finale against the Bills, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: With the Panthers' top wideouts periodically dealing with injuries, Smith has continued to get opportunities with the starters and has been a standout during training camp. He'll look to continue his strong play during Carolina's final exhibition game, though it's unclear if he'll be able to work his way past Rashard Higgins and Terrace Marshall on the depth chart.

    Smith caught one of two targets for eight yards in Friday's 20-10 preseason loss to the Patriots.

    Analysis: Smith also returned one punt for 15 yards. With fellow wideouts DJ Moore (shoulder), Robbie Anderson (quadriceps) and Terrace Marshall (hamstring) currently sidelined, Smith has gotten run with the Panthers' starting offense. In doing so, he's been a standout during practice, Augusta Stone of the team's official site reports, and Smith caught two targets for 34 yards from quarterback Baker Mayfield in Carolina's opening preseason game.

  • Working with first-team offense

    Smith continues to get extensive work in the slot with the first-team offense during training camp, Doug Kyed of Pro Football Focus reports.

    Analysis: With Terrace Marshall (lower leg) slowly working his way back to practice, Smith has carved out a role as the Panthers' top slot option. Per Kyed, the 2021 sixth-round pick continues to work with the starters and has made numerous standout plays during training camp. Smith likely still faces heavy competition for snaps with Marshall, a 2021 second-round pick, and veteran free-agent signee Rashard Higgins.

  • Competing for WR slotting

    Smith will compete for slotting this season behind Carolina's top two wide receivers, DJ Moore and Robbie Anderson, Ellis L. Williams of the Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Per Williams, Terrace Marshall is the early favorite to work alongside Moore and Anderson, but Rashard Higgins, Brandon Zylstra and Smith are also in the mix for the Panthers' complementary wide receiver reps. Smith was a sixth-round draft choice in 2021 and finished his rookie campaign with six catches for 104 yards while appearing in six contests. The 23-year-old, who has been present for the Panthers' OTAs, was among a handful of players sporting a red no-contact jersey during Tuesday's…read more

  • Back from COVID list

    Smith was activated from the reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday.

    Analysis: The wide receiver missed Sunday's season finale against the Buccaneers after being placed on the COVID list Thursday. Smith finished his rookie campaign with six catches for 104 yards while appearing in six games in 2021.

  • Won't play in finale

    Carolina didn't activate Smith (illness) from the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's game against the Buccaneers, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Unsurprisingly, Smith wasn't able to clear the NFL's COVID-19 return-to-play protocol for the Week 18 contest after he was placed on the list Thursday following his positive test for the virus. Carolina elevated Keith Kirkwood from the practice squad as a COVID-19 replacement for Smith, who wraps up his rookie season with six receptions for 104 yards and no touchdowns across 11 targets over his six appearances.

  • Goes on COVID-19 list

    Carolina placed Smith (illness) on the reserve/COVID-19 list Thursday, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith was a candidate to step in as Carolina's No. 3 receiver for Sunday's season finale in Tampa Bay after Terrace Marshall (foot) was placed on injured reserve Wednesday, but the move to the reserve/COVID-19 list will likely deny Smith the opportunity. With both Smith and Marshall on track to sit out Week 18, Brandon Zylstra now looks like the top option to join starters DJ Moore and Robby Anderson (quadriceps) in three-receiver sets.

  • Hardly involved Sunday

    Smith played just three offensive snaps and didn't catch his only target in Sunday's 18-10 loss to the Saints.

    Analysis: Smith surprised with three catches for 86 yards in Week 16, but he wasn't one of three Carolina receivers to see significant playing time Sunday. However, he did match Brandon Zylstra in featuring for three offensive snaps, despite Zylstra usually occupying a larger role prior to a stint on the reserve/COVID-19 list. Whether he's fourth or fifth on the depth chart now, though, Smith's upside remains minimal ahead of Week 18's game versus the Buccaneers.

    Analysis: Smith, a rookie sixth-rounder, led the Panthers in receiving yards in only his fifth appearance this season, which came after teammate Brandon Zylstra (illness) was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list ahead of Sunday's contest. Smith's performance was highlighted by his 63-yard connection with quarterback Sam Darnold in the second quarter, helping set up a Carolina field goal.

    Smith (coach's decision) is out Sunday against the Falcons, David Newton of ESPN.com reports.

    Panthers head coach Matt Rhule said he expects Smith to play at least 15 snaps in Sunday's game against the Giants, Steve Reed of the Associated Press reports.

He took eight snaps on offense in that contest, drawing two targets and recording two receptions for 20 yards.

    Smith caught both of his targets for 20 yards in Sunday's 34-28 overtime loss to the Vikings.

    Analysis: Smith, a rookie sixth-rounder, played eight offensive snaps and seven on special teams in his NFL debut. Along with his receptions, Smith returned a kickoff for 24 yards. With fellow first-year wideout Terrace Marshall now in concussion protocol, Smith stands a decent chance to remain active in Week 7 versus the Giants.

    Smith is active for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Joe Person of The Athletic reports.

    Analysis: Smith was a healthy scratch for the first five games of the season, but he's active for Sunday and is set to make his professional debut. The rookie sixth-round pick is unlikely to be much of a factor in the offense since Carolina's receiving corps is currently in full health, though he could be a factor in the return game.

    Smith (coach's decision) is listed as inactive Thursday at Houston, Darin Gantt of the Panthers' official site reports.

    Analysis: Smith has been tending to a shoulder issue since Carolina's preseason finale, which was expected to keep him out for 2-to-3 weeks. But since coming off the practice report entirely this week, his pro debut still awaits. Smith may need an injury to a wide receiver ahead of him on the depth chart to do so.

However, reports suggested that he might not get enough work in to be active in Week 2. It's unclear when he may be ready to take the field for his first regular-season contest.

  • Misses second consecutive practice

    Smith (shoulder) remained a non-participant in Thursday's practice, David Netwon of ESPN.com reports.

    Analysis: Smith remains sidelined by the shoulder injury he suffered in Carolina's preseason finale. The rookie sixth-round pick will likely need to practice in some capacity Friday to have a shot at suiting up against the Jets come Sunday.

  • Doesn't practice Wednesday

    Smith (shoulder) didn't participate in Wednesday's practice.

    Analysis: Smith was forced out of the Panthers' preseason finale Aug. 28 against the Steelers with a shoulder injury, which later was accompanied by a prognosis of 2-to-3 weeks on the sideline. Thus, it's no surprise he didn't take the field for the first session of Week 1, but if he's trending toward the front end of that timeline he still may be able to play Sunday against the Jets. Smith's activity is worth monitoring Thursday and Friday to see if he puts himself in that position.

    Smith (shoulder) will be out at least 2-3 weeks, but the Panthers won't place him on injured reserve, Jonathan M. Alexander of The Charlotte Observer reports.

    Analysis: Smith suffered a shoulder injury making a catch in the fourth quarter of the Panthers' preseason finale. The injury ended what was otherwise a promising preseason campaign from the sixth-round rookie, and he looks to be a roster lock even with the setback. When healthy, he will likely slot in behind Terrace Marshall and David Moore as the No. 5 wideout in Carolina.

  • Suffers shoulder injury

    Smith caught two of three targets for 21 yards prior to exiting with a shoulder injury in Friday night's 34-9 preseason win over the Steelers.

    Analysis: Smith was forced to leave after making a catch during the fourth quarter. Afterward, coach Matt Rhule said Smith's injury seemed "significant," Joseph Person of The Athletic reports. Following a promising preseason run, that issue could stunt the rookie sixth-rounder Smith's availability and open a roster spot at the bottom of Carolina's receiving corps.

  • Makes tough catch in debut

    Smith caught his only target for 26 yards in Sunday's 21-18 preseason loss to the Colts.

    Analysis: Smith, Carolina's sixth-round pick this year, impressed by holding onto his lone target while taking a big hit from the opposing safety along the sideline. That play not only gave Smith a highlight from his exhibition debut, but also set the Panthers up in the red zone ahead of their only touchdown of the game. That contribution should help Smith's chances of earning the team's fifth wideout job ahead of this season.
