Ainias Smith Looks to Be Another Weapon in the Eagles Arsenal
Ainias Smith has been waiting for this opportunity throughout his whole career.
The Eagles Need Him.
Warming up in the middle of Paycor Stadium in Cincinnati was a new Eagles receiver not far from A.J. Brown or DeVonta Smith. This wasn’t Zach Pascal or Jahan Dotson.

Three weeks ago, when the Eagles were without two top weapons (Devonta Smith and Brown) in Tampa Bay, the offense once again looked anemic. The team is once again looking for someone to step up as another weapon in the receiving room.
Smith was a fifth-round pick out of Texas A&M for the Eagles in the 2024 NFL Draft.
He is, to date, the only player in NCAA history with 2,000 receiving yards, 250 rushing yards, 250 kickoff return yards, and 250 punt return yards.
Last week in Cincinnati was another significant one for the rookies. Will Shipley blasted through the middle of the defense for a seventeen-yard touchdown in the fourth quarter.
The only problem was that it was called back for a holding penalty. Shipley could be key down the stretch to keep Saquon Barkley’s touches down as the playoffs approach.
Ainias Smith was able to join the active roster due to a Bryon Young hamstring injury.
