Ito Smith In Non-Contact Jersey
5 years agoAtlanta Falcons running back Ito Smith (concussion) is practicing and returning kicks in a non-contact jersey on Thursday. While Smith might not be completely cleared from the league's concussion protocol, he's at least making some good progress and has a real shot to back up Devonta Freeman in the backfield in Week 4 against the Titans. Smith is a solid handcuff if you own Freeman, but he doesn't really have any standalone fantasy value for Atlanta. If he were to miss this Sunday's game, Brian Hill and rookie Qadree Ollison would help fill backup duties.
