Nolan Smith Has Surgery For Torn Triceps Muscle

4 months ago

Philadelphia Eagles pass-rusher Nolan Smith (triceps) had surgery on Wednesday for a torn triceps muscle that he suffered in the Super Bowl LIX win over the Kansas City Chiefs, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport. Despite suffering a torn triceps, Smith gutted it out and played through the injury in the second half of the 40-22 blowout win. Rapoport reports that Smith will be ready for the start of the 2025 season, but he'll likely miss all of the team's offseason program this spring. In his second season in 2024 after the Eagles took him with the 30th overall pick in the 2023 NFL draft out of the University of Georgia, the 24-year-old linebacker took a step forward with 42 tackles (21 solo), 6.5 sacks, eight tackles for loss, 11 QB hits, a forced fumble and two fumble recoveries in 16 regular-season games (10 starts). Smith added another four sacks in four playoff games.
