Jeanna Kelley has been covering the Falcons for The Falcoholic since 2011 and the NFL for SB Nation since 2015.
Smith’s brother, Brian Keith Moore, was shot to death on Sunday evening at a residence in Valdosta, Ga. Local police say they have determined a motive, but declined to make that information public.
Smith mourned his brother’s death on his Instagram account.
The Jaguars granted Smith leave from the team to be with his family in the aftermath of his brother’s death.
On Tuesday, Smith experienced the opposite end of the emotional spectrum as he welcomed a new baby boy, according to ESPN’s Mike DiRocco.
It is unclear at this time when Smith, who has 71 tackles and four pass deflections this season for the Jaguars, will return to the team. Jacksonville faces the NFC North-leading Lions in Detroit on Sunday.
