Multiple NFL Players Leave Practice Early Due to Injuries

Several NFL players named Smith have recently left practice early due to injuries, raising concerns ahead of upcoming games. Rookie running back Brashard Smith of the Chiefs sustained a finger injury and is considered day-to-day before the preseason opener against the Cardinals. Steelers tight end Jonnu Smith exited practice early but appeared able to walk off the field, although target competition with teammate Pat Freiermuth may limit fantasy value. Eagles edge rusher Nolan Smith left practice due to a concussion, likely related to an earlier head injury, with his status possibly precautionary. Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith left practice with an apparent lower-body injury after struggling to meet expectations in his first two NFL seasons, recently losing reps to a rookie teammate. These injuries highlight ongoing challenges for these players as they prepare for the upcoming season.
