The Cowboys are getting closer to kicking off their final home game of the regular season and hoping to snap their first losing streak of the year with a win against the visiting Lions. After playing without their trusty left tackle a week ago, Dallas now knows for sure what Tyron Smith’s status will be for this important matchup.
After missing last week’s game with a back injury, Tyron Smith returned to practice on Thursday in a limited capacity, offering hope that he would be able to play. While nothing is set in stone - Smith was active but still sat out in an earlier game this season - all signs point to the future Hall of Famer playing in this one, as he is active.
