OXNARD, Calif. – It speaks to the magnitude of the moment that Jason Garrett was actually willing to discuss preseason playing time on Wednesday morning.
The Cowboys’ head coach is notoriously tight-lipped about who will play in preseason games, or how long they’ll do so. But in the unprecedented case of Jaylon Smith, Garrett was willing to make an exception.
“If everything goes well today and tomorrow we do anticipate him playing,” Garrett said. “The specifics of how much he will play, we haven’t decided yet. But he’s certainly on schedule to get some action.”
In 99 percent of circumstances, that’s not exactly news.
