Just when Cowboys nation was starting to settle down from the most recent injury news to their offensive line, defensive end Aldon Smith popped up on this week’s first injury report headed into Week 7 as the Cowboys travel to Washington to take on The Washington Football Team.
Smith joined starting guard Zack Martin (concussion) and starting left tackle Brandon Knight (knee) as the three Cowboys players who did not participate in practice.
