Eagles receiver Devonta Smith suffered a lower leg injury during Super Bowl LVII. Two weeks later, he’s still recovering from it.
Via AL.com, Smith rang the bell before the 76ers’ game against the Celtics. Smith was wearing a walking boot on his right leg.
Smith left the locker room after the loss to the Chiefs wearing the boot. While there is no reason to believe that the injury will limit his ability to participate in the off-season program, the presence of the boot means it is a position worth watching as the off-season continues.
Smith led all receivers with 100 receiving yards in Super Bowl LVII. He tied Chiefs receiver JuJu Smith-Schuster with a game-high seven catches.
Meanwhile, Smith is a fan of the Celtics. After Boston won the game, and Smith received a signed jersey from Jayson Tatum, who scored a record-high 55 points in the All-Star Game last Sunday.
