The Philadelphia Eagles placed linebacker Nolan Smith Jr. on injured reserve Wednesday.

NFL Network reported Smith aggravated a triceps injury that required surgery in the offseason.

Cornerback Jakorian Bennett and rookie wide receiver Darius Cooper also were placed on injured reserve Wednesday, meaning all three players will be required to miss at least the next four games for Philadelphia.

Smith has recorded 10 tackles and a forced fumble in three games this season. He has yet to record a sack after registering 6.5 last season and another four more in the playoffs.

The Eagles (3-0) have just three sacks as a team on the season heading into Sunday’s game against the host Tampa Bay Buccaneers (3-0).

Smith, 24, has 70 tackles and 7.5 sacks in 36 career regular-season games since being selected by Philadelphia with the 30th overall pick of the 2023 NFL Draft out of Georgia.

Bennett, 25, has six tackles in three games this season after being acquired in a trade with the Las Vegas Raiders during training camp. He is dealing with an undisclosed injury.

Cooper, 23, is nursing a shoulder injury. He has yet to reel in a catch thus far in 2025.

Also on Wednesday, the Eagles signed linebacker Lance Dixon, defensive back Eli Ricks and wideout Quez Watkins to the practice squad.
