Tyler Smith Optimistic He'll Play In Week 1

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith (hamstring) is optimistic that he can play in the Week 1 regular season opener this Sunday night against the New York Giants. "He says he feels really good. He's very optimistic," head coach Mike McCarthy said. Smith won't practice on Thursday and will rehab off to the side with director of rehabilitation Britt Brown as part of a return-to-play procedure. The 22-year-old injured his hamstring in practice earlier this week and was diagnosed with a strain, but the Cowboys aren't ruling him out of Sunday night's game. If Smith can't practice by Saturday, then the Cowboys will likely move Chuma Edoga into the starting lineup.

Tyler Smith Should Be Ready For Week 1

An MRI exam confirmed that Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith (hamstring) suffered a hamstring strain in practice on Monday, according to a person with knowledge of the injury. However, owner Jerry Jones said on Tuesday that he was confident that Smith would be ready to go for the Week 1 regular season opener against the New York Giants on Sunday. It will depend on how the 22-year-old second-year offensive guard recovers from the injury and how much he's able to do in practice leading up to Sunday's game this week. If Smith is unable to go, rookie fifth-rounder Asim Richards would likely step in as the starter at left guard for the Cowboys.
