INDIANAPOLIS – Cowboys Jason Garrett echoed the positive statements team executive vice president Stephen Jones made Tuesday about 2016 second-round pick Jaylon Smith’s progress recovering from the serious knee injury that sidelined him his entire rookie season.
“He’s worked very hard in his rehab,” Garrett said Wednesday from the NFL Scouting Combine. “He and (associate athletic trainer/director of rehabilitation) Britt Brown and (strength and conditioning coordinator) Mike Woicik, they spent a lot of time together. He’s worked hard to come back from that, there’s no question. He’s made a lot of progress; his workouts seem to be getting better and better and better.
