Ito Smith

With Ezekiel Elliott unlikely to see more than a few snaps in a meaningless Week 18 game, Corey Clement, Smith, and Hardy could be in line for carries against the Eagles. Tony Pollard (foot) has been declared out for the game. 

Smith made it five days in Minnesota, and has now been cut twice this month. Smith never showed any juice in Atlanta and is already close to bombing out of the league at age 25. 

Smith spent two weeks with the Cardinals earlier this month but was released between their first and second preseason games. The addition of Smith could mean that fourth-round rookie Kene Nwangwu's knee injury is worse than initially thought. If Nwangwu misses time, Smith will compete for RB3 duties with Ameer Abdullah. The Vikings waived quarterback Danny Etling in a corresponding move.

Smith was cut by Atlanta back in April and recently worked out for Arizona. He takes the roster spot of RB Khalfani Muhammad. Smith has averaged a pedestrian 3.9 yards per carry on 175 career totes since being a fourth-round pick by the Falcons. Smith will compete for a role behind Chase Edmonds and James Conner.
