Summary
Tyler Smith returned to practice for the first time since thumb surgery, giving Dallas a chance to get its All-Pro left guard back for Thursday night against Tampa Bay.
Four missed games and an injured-reserve stint had sidelined Smith since the season opened, but his return could bolster protection and the run game as the Cowboys try to reach 3-2.
Dallas enters off a comeback win over Houston, where Dak Prescott and the offense surged in the second half behind a big day from CeeDee Lamb and three rushing touchdowns from Javonte Williams.
Tampa Bay arrives winless and without Baker Mayfield, while Dallas hopes its improving defense under Christian Parker can keep momentum at home and move the club to 2-0 in Arlington.
