The two will revert to the practice squad after the game without having to pass through waivers.
Mills, 29, is a former fifth-round pick of the Bears back in 2013. He spent two years in Chicago before among their roster cuts at the start of the 2015 season and later claimed off of waivers by the Cowboys.
Mills had a brief stint with the Lions before the Bills signed him to their active roster. Buffalo re-signed him to a two-year, $4 million contract back in 2017.
From there, Mills signed a one-year deal with the Dolphins last year but was released with an injury settlement not long later. Mills had a brief stint with the Cardinals before ending up on injured reserve. He signed to the Cowboys practice squad earlier this season.
In 2018, Mills appeared in all 16 games for the Bills and was rated by Pro Football Focus as the No. 70 offensive tackle out of 80 qualifying players.
Smith, 23, wound up going undrafted out of Alabama back in May of 2019. He later signed a three-year, $1.755 million contract with the Jaguars.
However, Jacksonville opted to waive him coming out of the preseason and he sat out the entire 2019 season.
Smith signed a one-year, $1.4 million deal with the Cowboys this offseason but was waived coming out of camp. He’s bounced on and off the practice squad in 2020.
During his one year at Alabama, Smith recorded 36 tackles, three interceptions, one defensive touchdown, a forced fumble and five passes defended.
