Former Alabama wide receiver Devonta Smith was able to bounce back on Sunday afternoon after a quiet performance in Week 1 last weekend. 

Smith recorded 117 yards and a touchdown in Week 2, as the Eagles were able to defeat the Titans 24-20 on the road in Nashville. The former Alabama star had his first elite performance as Philadelphia’s wide receiver one after AJ Brown was traded during the offseason, and Smith played a critical role on the Eagles’ game winning touchdown drive at the end of the fourth quarter. 


Smith and the Eagles will be on the road once again in Week 3 for a highly anticipated matchup against the Bears, and the legendary Crimson Tide receiver will look to pickup right where he left off next week in Chicago.
