The Facts:
Smith will participate in team workouts when he and the rest of the veterans begin their workouts next Tuesday, but he will be held out of contact drills. HC Andy Reid didn't give a time-table for Smith's return to contact drills. "It could be a few weeks, it might be a week," Reid said.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Still, Reid considers Smith "actually a little bit ahead" of schedule in his recovery. Smith underwent sports hernia surgery on May 31, and has spent the last several weeks rehabbing in Philadelphia with head athletic trainer Rick Burkholder. At this point, there's no reason to believe the star tight end won't be ready for regular-season action.
