Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver DeVonta Smith won't let a banged-up knee keep him from playing on Monday against the New York Giants.
After watching practice from the sidelines on Thursday and Friday, Smith returned to action on Saturday.
And when asked by reporters if he thinks he'll be available come Monday, he was nothing but smiles.
"You know me – I'll be good. I'll be out there," Smith said.
Smith was limited in Friday's practice but received no injury designation for game day on the final injury report. It's worth noting that the extra time to rest on Sunday could be just enough for Smith to heal up by Christmas Day.
Smith, who has yet to miss a game this season, leads the receiving corpse alongside A.J. Brown with 74 receptions for 957 yards and six touchdowns.
