Philadelphia Eagles receiver DeVonta Smith suffered a concussion after a helmet-to-helmet hit from New Orleans Saints defensive lineman Kristian Boyd. The incident occurred in the second half of Sunday's game, drawing criticism for lack of a penalty and raising concerns about player safety.
The Philadelphia Eagles came away with the late victory this time around, but they had a frightening moment with their star receiver, DeVonta Smith, that resulted in his helmet flying off and being ruled out with a concussion. Smith caught a pass from Jalen Hurts in the second half when multiple New Orleans Saints players met him for the tackle, but they initially weren’t able to bring him down.
