Za'Darius Smith Expected To Be Activated For Saturday's Game
3 years agoThe Green Bay Packers are expected to activate Pro Bowl pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith (back) from Injured Reserve for Saturday's Divisional Round game against the San Francisco 49ers, according to sources. Smith has been working his way back with an eye towards returning for the playoffs, and it will be his first game action since Week 1. Because of the long layoff, there's a good chance that Smith won't see a full complement of defensive snaps, but the two-time All-Pro will certainly be a welcomed addition to an underrated Packers defense. At DraftKings, Green Bay's D is the highest-priced defensive unit on the board this weekend at $3,200. In his first two seasons with the team in 2019 and 2020, Smith recorded 26 total sacks, 76 solo tackles, 29 tackles for loss and 60 QB hits in 32 games.
