Overview
- In May 2026 Smith was stopped in Twiggs County, Ga., and cited for speeding and reckless driving after authorities say he was driving about 135–136 mph in a 70 mph zone.
- Smith made a public apology at Eagles camp and said he had apologized directly to general manager Howie Roseman and owner Jeffrey Lurie.
- The Eagles have kept Smith on the roster, picked up his fifth‑year option earlier in 2026, and expect him to see significant snaps in training camp.
- Local court records show the Twiggs County matter remained on the calendar with reports that the case could be resolved by paying fines rather than an in‑court appearance.
- The NFL has not confirmed whether it opened a Personal Conduct Policy investigation, and the May arrest follows a 2022 Barrow County speeding case in which Smith entered a pretrial diversion program.
