The team has maintained that they don’t believe the injury is serious enough to keep him from playing on Sunday. Head coach Mike McCarthy said that Smith feels good and optimistic about playing Sunday. McCarthy added that Smith can play if he is able to practice Saturday before the team flight to face the Giants.
Cowboys LT Tyron Smith rolled his ankle in practice today, and the issue is considered minor, two people familiar with situation said. Some natural tension about O-line, but neither he nor LG Tyler Smith (hamstring) is dealing with major injury. Tyler rehabbed on side field today
