Cowboys’ Tyler Smith returns to practice ahead of Buccaneers matchup
Summary

Dallas Cowboys left guard Tyler Smith is eligible to return for Thursday's game against the Buccaneers after a month on injured reserve due to hand surgery. Coach Brian Schottenheimer indicated that both Smith and linebacker DeMarvion Overshown are 'trending positively' toward playing, although a final decision will come later in the week. The Cowboys currently hold a 2-2 record this season, navigating challenges without key players. Smith’s potential return could bolster the offensive line, as he is a Pro Bowler and a second-team All-Pro.
