Smith got a veteran rest day Thursday and was a limited participant in practice, Rich Cimini of ESPN.com reports. The starting left tackle missed a day of practice early in training camp with an undisclosed injury but is not injured now. Smith should be in line to start Monday night against the 49ers. The five-time All-Pro has started all 161 games he's played in during his career.

Smith (undisclosed) was not on the field for team drills at training camp Tuesday, Andy Vasquez of The Bergen Record reports. Smith hasn't worked on the field for three days as a result of undisclosed tightness, according to head coach Robert Saleh. Smith is coming off of a resurgent 2023 campaign with the Cowboys, but he's dealt with injuries in recent years, so the developments at camp with New York are somewhat alarming.

Smith, a pending unrestricted free agent, is unlikely to return to the Cowboys, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Smith has spent 13 seasons in Dallas since the team selected him in the first round of the 2011 NFL Draft, and he played at a stellar level during the 2023 season after two injury-plagued years in 2020 and 2022. Concerns of age and injury still linger for the 33-year-old left tackle, but if Smith indeed hits free agency, he shouldn't lack for suitors from teams around the league in need of reliable protection.

Smith (back) is active for Saturday night's game against the Lions. Smith returns to the lineup to protect Dak Prescott's blind side after missing Week 16. Smith has missed four of 15 contests this season, but the Cowboys likely need the 33-year-old is able to stay healthy for a potential long playoff run.

Smith (back) logged a limited practice session Thursday and is officially questionable to play against Detroit on Saturday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports. A back injury kept Smith out of Sunday's Week 16 loss to Miami, but the left tackle has a chance to return Saturday versus Detroit. Smith appears to be making some progress toward playing, as he was a limited practice participant Thursday after sitting out Wednesday and being deemed a DNP for Tuesday's walkthrough. If Smith is unable to suit up Saturday, however, Chuma Edoga would presumably start for the second straight week.
