Smith missed the Falcons' Week 6 loss to the Bears due to a neck injury. The outside linebacker is set to suit up after a one-game absence. The veteran pass rusher's return will boost the rotational efficiency of the Falcons' defensive line as he goes in when Samson Ebukam or Cameron Thomas need to rest.
