At 7:30 Friday morning, Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said he was “not alarmed” by left tackle Tyron Smith missing practice the day prior due to a neck issue.
By 11 a.m., though, he had disclosed to the media that Smith had not participated in the morning’s walk-through, and team owner Jerry Jones had called the seven-time Pro Bowler “a game-time decision.”.
Moments after Jones’s comments, while speaking with reporters on a conference call from The Star, McCarthy confirmed that Smith’s neck injury occurred during the individual portion of drills on Thursday.
While Zack Martin and Connor Williams have taken snaps at the tackle spot simply as a matter of course, McCarthy declined to dive deeper into who might have to play where to cover for a Smith absence
