    Smith (thumb) is active for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Patrik Walker of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Smith was removed from injured reserve Thursday, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports. However, after carrying a questionable tag, Smith will be out there Thursday night, likely resulting in less work for T.J. Bass.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Questionable for TNF

    Smith (thumb) is listed as questionable for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers, Tommy Yarrish of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Smith, who was designated to return from injured reserve Monday, finished Week 5 prep with a full practice Wednesday. The questionable tag gives him a chance to be activated from IR and make his 2026 debut Thursday. Smith's return would likely result in T.J. Bass reverting to a depth role on the offensive line.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Limited in practice Monday

    Smith (thumb) was a limited participant in Monday's estimated practice, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.

    Smith was cleared to return to practice Monday after spending the first four weeks of the 2026 regular season on injured reserve. The offensive guard was limited in his first session back and has three full weeks to upgrade to a full participant before he will be forced to return to the active roster or miss the remainder of the 2026 season.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Cleared to practice

    The Cowboys designated Smith (thumb) for return to practice Monday.

    Smith missed the Cowboys' first four games of the season after undergoing surgery in early September to address a thumb injury, but he looks like he'll have a chance at returning to action when first eligible Week 5. Per Nick Harris of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, the Cowboys are aiming for the three-time Pro Bowler to return to action Thursday versus the Buccaneers, providing he responds well to practice over the next few days. Once he's reinstated, Smith will take over as the Cowboys' starting left guard, sending T.J. Bass back to the bench.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Could return in Week 5

    Smith (thumb) could return for the Cowboys' Week 5 matchup against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

    Smith continues to work back from a procedure to fix a thumb injury he suffered near the start of the regular season. The left guard could return in Week 5, but the short lead-up to Thursday's game could set the 25-year-old back another week. Once Smith returns, T.J. Bass should revert to his role as a depth piece for the Cowboys' offensive line.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Officially placed on IR

    The Cowboys placed Smith (thumb) on injured reserve Wednesday.

    Smith is scheduled to miss four to six weeks to recover from a procedure on his injured thumb. He'll be required to miss at least the Cowboys' next four games, so the earliest that the fifth-year offensive lineman can play is Week 5 against the Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 8. T.J. Bass will serve as the Cowboys' starting left guard for as long as Smith is sidelined.

    The Cowboys are likely to place Smith on injured reserve within the coming days. While Smith is out for at least a handful of games, the Cowboys will turn to T.J. Bass as their starting left guard.

  • Cowboys' Tyler Smith: Will see reps at tackle

    Head coach Brian Schottenheimer told reporters Wednesday that Smith (knee) will start at left guard this season but will also get some reps at left tackle during training camp, Nick Eatman of the Cowboys' official site reports.

    Smith was a first-round selection of the Cowboys in the 2022 NFL Draft and started 17 games at left tackle as a rookie before moving to guard. The transition paid off for Tulsa product, who made the Pro Bowl in each of the last three years and was rewarded with a four-year, $98 million contract extension last September. Smith underwent minor cleanup surgery on his right knee in February and has recovered enough to participate in training camp practices.
