Smoot returning from an Achilles rupture is amazing.  I tore my achilles back in 2017.  I was in decent shape back then, and it took me almost 2 years before I could run and play soccer like before my injury.  Of course, I'm not in any way near the same athlete as Smoot, nor was my health care at the caliber of his.  I'm just saying that the achilles tear is a [BLEEP] to deal with. 

If he can be around 100% by December, I think it's a win.  I don't expect much from him right away.  Same with Hamilton and his back.  These aren't easy injuries you just come back from quickly.  I think both of them will be eased back into the game over the next several weeks.

I would let Little rest up. we got 2 games in 5 days, let him have this time to heal and be fully ready after the long layoff. Certainly a lot better than rushing him back, reinjuring and dealing with a nagging thing.
