Rocky Long said he hopes Maxwell Smith "gets ready but there’s not a real good chance that he’ll be able to play."
Smith still has a lot swelling and won't practice until that heals. Chapman will practice like he's going to start but in his heart he probably wants Maxwell to play, Long said.
Long also said if doctors clear Smith, he'll let him hand the ball off on first play but if Smith comes back saying he can't do it it's not happening. Nothing symbolic will happen if Smith isn't cleared to get on the field, either.
