Eagles' Nolan Smith Arrested in Georgia for Speeding

Nolan Smith, the Eagles' fourth-year edge defender, was reportedly arrested in Georgia for speeding and reckless driving after allegedly driving well over 130 mph; a mugshot circulated online and local outlets confirmed the arrest, though PhillyVoice has not independently verified the exact speed. The report comes amid a string of speeding incidents among NFL players, but no suspensions have followed, and the Eagles hope to have Smith healthy for the 2026 season after a year hampered by a triceps injury; they also exercised his fifth-year option for 2027.
