Eagles HC Nick Sirianni Weighs In On Rookie Receiver's Preseason Struggles

If there's one major talking point about the Philadelphia Eagles' 2024 rookie class, it isn't the instant impact player Quinyon Mitchell appears to be, the emergence of Johnny Wilson as a legit challenger for WR3, or even how Will Shipley could become the next Darren Sproles, but instead the struggles of Ainias Smith, who has earned poor reviews coming out of camp and struggled in the preseason debut. Asked about Smith's issues in the preseason earlier this week, head coach Nick Sirianni let it be known that it isn't soley the Texas A&M product's fault, as more goes into a dropped pass than the wide receiver's hands.
