Smith, 28, has overcome a lot during his six-year NFL career, including being cut by the Dallas Cowboys seven times in a single season. So it’s safe to say this short stint on the league’s new virus designation won’t faze him.
With the Falcons set to begin full-contact practices, it will be helpful to have the team’s lead blocker back out there in front of running back Todd Gurley.
