Should Eagles fans be worried about this? The very simple answer is no. Eagles fans shouldn’t be worried at all.
Is it unfortunate Smith is going to miss some camp time? Sure, but it won’t mean much in the long run.

We’re talking about a guy who won the Heisman playing for Nick Saban. DeVonta Smith isn’t going to let a minor MCL issue and two or three missed weeks of camp throw him off his game.
Given how Alabama players practice and prepare, he’s going to be just fine with the Eagles if he misses some time.
