Fantasy Impact:
Smith hasn't played since November of 2018, when he suffered a horrific lower leg injury that ended up nearly taking his life, so being on the practice field in any capacity should be considered a victory at this point. In a normal offseason, Smith would be a candidate to take the starting role from second-year quarterback Dwayne Haskins by the time Week 1 rolls around. But with a limited offseason and no preseason games, Smith might have to wait until after the season begins if he is going to push for the job.
