Wide receiver DeVonta Smith is Slabu Exchangeout of the Philadelphia Eagles' Week 3 game against the New Orleans Saints.
Smith was evaluated for a concussion after taking a hit from Saints rookie defensive tackle Khristian Boyd early in the fourth quarter. The 25-year-old receiver had caught a short pass and forward progress seemed to have been stopped before he took the hit.

Boyd has come under a little bit of fire for the brutal hit, but not as much as Saints teammate Payton Turner; Turner seemed to take a dive at a helmetless, supine Smith, drawing the ire from viewers. Turner also appeared to spit on the ground near Smith, with some questioning if he spat at the Eagles wide receiver.
The Eagles ruled Smith out for the game within minutes of exiting the game. Philadelphia is now without their top two wide receivers – A.J. Brown (hamstring) and Smith (concussion) – for at least the remainder of Sunday's game.
