2024 Projections
Smith has been signed to the Panthers' active roster.
ANALYSIS
Smith was previously on the Panthers' practice squad, but has been promoted to the 53-man roster in the wake of numerous injuries endured by Carolina during Week 3. Most notably, linebacker Thomas Davis went down with an undisclosed injury, so Smith's addition at linebacker could hint toward Davis being limited moving forward. After playing 16 games as a rookie in 2011, injuries have restricted Smith himself to just seven appearances ever since.

Smith is familiar with the 3-4 defensive scheme that the Bolts run and can give them some depth at the inside linebacker position, but he is not expected to supplant Donald Butler or Manti Te'o as a starter.
