The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly preparing to activate offensive guard Tyler Smith for their Week 5 matchup against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, with multiple outlets indicating he is returning from injury.
CBS Sports notes that while the Cowboys have played without Smith, his expected return gives Dallas a boost going into the Thursday night game. Yahoo Sports similarly reports that Smith is ready to return and that the team is expected to move him off injured reserve. Yahoo Sports also describes that the Cowboys designated Smith for return earlier in the week, pointing to an imminent activation for the contest.
Across the reports, the central point is Smith’s status: he has been working his way back from injury, and the Cowboys appear close to bringing him back to the active roster for the upcoming game. None of the sources provide additional details beyond the return expectation and the team’s prior absence without him.
