Charlie Smyth’s participation in the New Orleans Saints’ NFL game against Tennessee Titans on Sunday has been listed as “questionable” by his team after his practice time was curtailed because of illness.

Last weekend Smyth celebrated his new three-year contract as he kicked 17 points in his side’s 29-6 win over the New York Jets.

Former Gaelic footballer Smyth was rewarded for his match-winning kick against the Carolina Panthers with a spot on the Saints’ 53-man roster, along with a new deal.

The 24-year-old either had to be permanently promoted to the roster or released having been elevated from the Saints’ practice squad on three previous occasions.

Smyth had his best showing in the NFL in Sunday’s win over the Jets as he kicked five field goals and landed two extra point attempts.

In Smyth’s four NFL outings to date, the Saints have won three times and he has had a successful onside kick, which had a 7% success rate, a match-winning kick and those 17 points in a single game.

After facing the Tennessee Titans, the New Orleans Saints will complete their regular season against the Atlanta Falcons.
