The Dallas Cowboys have had a suspiciously quiet offseason with a lot of the eye being centered on what they didn’t do versus what they did do, specifically opting to not give any of their finest gamers the contract extensions they haven’t been shy about wanting.
Nothing spices up a quiet offseason fairly like an allergic response, which is what one participant sadly is coping with to place his standing for Saturday’s preseason recreation in opposition to the Las Vegas Raiders in jeopardy.

Smith will probably be receiving remedy on Saturday morning and will probably be reevaluated to find out his recreation standing previous to kickoff.
The Cowboys chosen Smith within the first spherical in final yr’s draft and will probably be relying on him to step into a way more outstanding function this yr after shedding Dorance Armstrong and Johnathan Hankins in free company.
Smith posted simply 13 tackles final season and one sack whereas seeing motion in all 17 video games, however he’s now a projected starter and will enhance dramatically upon final yr’s output.
It’s unclear what kind of allergic response Smith suffered, but it surely doesn’t look like something main that can influence him long-term.
