Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith will not play in Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders after suffering an allergic reaction Friday, the team announced.
The Cowboys said in a release that Smith was continuing to recover and would not travel to Las Vegas. On Friday, they had left open the chance of Smith joining the team after initially announcing his medical issue that occurred before the Cowboys departed Oxnard, California.
Smith, the Cowboys' 2023 first-round pick, had earned praise from the coaches for his performance in the preseason opener last week against the Los Angeles Rams as he appears to have found a better fit in a traditional nose tackle role under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
