Smith said he hasn't experienced a similar wave of injuries in his six years as Atlanta's coach.
"We've not had anything close to this," Smith said. "There have been games where we've had guys who have not been able to play and it's been the next-man-up mentality, and I think that's really what our guys understand. I tell them all the time we have very defined roles on our team and in our organization, but I tell them on our team those roles can change just like that and you've got to be prepared."
