Good to go Week 2
Smith is active for Sunday's battle against the Bengals.
Analysis: Smith missed multiple weeks during training camp due to an undisclosed issue and was then a healthy scratch for Week 1 of the regular season. However, he's ready to roll for Week 2 and could see some rotational snaps along Jacksonville's defensive line. Smith will likely take some of the work that Khalen Saunders, who is a healthy scratch Sunday, assumed in the season-opener.

Healthy scratch vs. Carolina
Smith (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Panthers.
Analysis: Smith was activated from the active/PUP list mid-August and is not dealing with an injury, so he is a healthy scratch for Week 1, per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union. Smith, the Jaguars' 2024 second-round pick, was expected to serve in a meaningful role on the interior defensive line, but he'll observe Sunday's game in street clothes while Khalen Saunders and Austin Johnson work in rotation with DaVon Hamilton and Arik Armstead. Smith's next opportunity to make his 2025 debut is…read more

Activated from PUP list Thursday
Smith (undisclosed) was activated off the active/PUP list Thursday.
Analysis: Smith was placed on the active/PUP list July 23 in a move that head coach Liam Coen described as precautionary. The 2024 second-round pick has regained health and will push for a role on the interior of Jacksonville's defensive line.

Precautionary placement on PUP
Jaguars head coach Liam Coen told reporters Wednesday that Smith's (undisclosed) placement on the active/PUP list was cautionary, Mia O'Brien of 1010 XL 92.5 FM Jacksonville reports.
Analysis: The Jaguars haven't disclosed the exact nature of Smith's injury. However, it appears the 2024 second-round pick's injury isn't serious, which should open the door for him to participate in training camp and the preseason. Smith saw his snap count grow in the latter part of his rookie campaign, and he registered 12 tackles (six solo), including 2.0 sacks, and two pass defenses across the last six games of the 2024 regular season.

Opens camp on PUP list
The Jaguars placed Smith (undisclosed) on the active/PUP list Tuesday, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Smith was the 48th overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft and appeared in 11 regular-season games as a rookie, making five starts. He finished the campaign with 17 tackles (10 solo), including 3.0 sacks, and three pass breakups on 384 defensive snaps. Smith should again be a prominent member of the Jaguars' defensive-line rotation.

Contributes during rookie campaign
Smith tallied 17 total tackles, including 3.0 sacks, and defended three passes over 11 games in 2024.
Analysis: Smith, a 2024 second-round pick from LSU, saw a relatively large role on the Jaguars' defense during his rookie season, playing 365 defensive snaps and making five starts over his 11 appearances. He ranked third on Jacksonville's defense in sacks and could very well see a larger role in 2025, with the team's pass-rush unit struggling in 2024 (fifth-fewest sacks in the NFL). Expect Smith to compete with DaVon Hamilton and Arik Armstead for a starting position on the Jaguars' defense throughout…read more

All set for Week 13
Smith (ankle) did not appear on the Jaguars' first injury report of the week Wednesday.
Analysis: Smith appears to be set to return to the field after a four-game absence with an ankle injury. The 22-year-old has played in five games this season, compiling five total tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, while also adding a pass defensed. Smith will be back in his role as a depth option behind DaVon Hamilton and Arik Armstead at defensive tackle versus the Texans on Sunday.

Not playing Week 11
Smith (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's battle against the Lions.
Analysis: Smith will be inactive for his fourth straight contest due to an ankle injury. He's been able to log a trio of limited practice sessions each of the past three weeks, but Jacksonville continues to hold him out. The Jaguars are on bye next week, so Smith will have extra time to recover ahead of the team's Week 13 tilt against the Texans.

Questionable for Week 11
Smith (ankle) is listed as questionable for Sunday's game against Detroit, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Smith has been sidelined for Jacksonville's last three games due to an ankle injury, but he has a chance to return Sunday after logging limited practice sessions all week. The rookie second-round pick has logged five tackles (four solo), including 1.0 sacks, through five regular-season games.

Missing Week 10
Smith (ankle) was a limited practice participant Friday, but he has been ruled out for Sunday's game against the Vikings, Michael DiRocco of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: The rookie second-round pick was limited in practice all week, but he will be sidelined for a third straight game due to an ankle injury. Smith's next chance at suiting up will be Week 11 against Detroit on Sunday, Nov. 17. Jordan Jefferson and Jeremiah Ledbetter will be the primary backups at defensive tackle behind starters DaVon Hamilton and Arik Armstead.

Set to miss another contest
Smith (ankle) has been ruled out of Sunday's Week 9 matchup against Philadelphia, Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union reports.
Analysis: Smith will sit out a third straight game, as he's dealing with an ankle injury. The rookie second-round draft pick did manage to log a trio of limited practices this week, so he'll look to return to game action Sunday, Nov. 10 against Minnesota. Jordan Jefferson could again see a smattering of defensive snaps due to Smith being sidelined.

Will be sidelined Week 8
Smith (ankle) is inactive for Sunday's matchup against the Packers.
Analysis: Smith hurt his ankle during practice this week, per Demetrius Harvey of The Florida Times-Union. The rookie defensive tackle notched his first career sack and logged a season-high 49 percent of the Jaguars' defensive snaps against Chicago in Week 6, so his injury comes as he was building some momentum. Jordan Jefferson could see more work with Smith sidelined.
