The Dallas Cowboys were out on the practice field in Oxnard on Tuesday running through preparations for Saturday’s preseason game at AT&T Stadium against the Jacksonville Jaguars. As exciting as it is for the Cowboys to be practicing and to be playing in a game this week, this is still football which means the risk of injury is always present.
The injury bug sort of showed up before practice even began as NFL Network reported that rookie defensive tackle Mazi Smith was receiving an MRI on his knee (he is fine thankfully) and that Tyler Smith was off for the day after his back tightened up (the situation was deemed nothing significant).
