Cowboys
Cowboys HC Jason Garrett said OT Tyron Smith will miss practice due to a “tight back” after being carted off the field from Tuesday’s practice.
Although Smith is experiencing a “tight back” and missed two games last season with a back injury, Garrett added that he does not think his issue is related to a previous injury.
“We don’t think this issue is related to anything from his past,” Garrett said, via Todd Archer of ESPN. “So like with a lot of guys sometimes they get nicked up and for a guy like that we just want to be deliberate bringing him back.”
