Losing grip on starting role
Smith may not be in line for a starting role at linebacker this season, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Whether a defensive player starts or not doesn't always matter a great deal in the modern era as teams shift frequently between packages, but based on usage in training camp and the preseason, Smith appears to be fourth on the overall linebacker depth chart for the Cowboys behind Leighton Vander Esch, first-round pick Micah Parsons and free-agent signing Keanu Neal. The latter seems locked into a role on passing downs and Parsons' impressive play in camp has had him on the field in all situations, which leaves Smith fighting for early-down work with Vander Esch. Both returning veterans have been IDP studs when healthy in their Dallas careers, but Smith in particular could be in danger of having his tackle numbers crater simply due to a lack of snaps. His own poor play in preseason action isn't making much of a case for a bigger workload either, and were it not for his contract, the 26-year-old might not have a roster spot waiting for him at all.

Seeing first-team reps
Smith (wrist) took a majority of the first-team reps at linebacker during OTAs, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
Impact
Although it's a good sign that Smith was back with his teammates, Machota points out that fans shouldn't read to much into him receiving the first-team reps, as the coaching staff has kept veterans and rookies together for much of the offseason work. Smith underwent wrist surgery this offseason, coupled with the team drafting Micah Parsons in the first round of the 2021 Draft, signs that point to a decreased role for Smith heading into 2021 and potentially beyond. The Notre Dame product racked up 154 tackles (89 solo) and 1.5 sacks last season and hopes to be a full-go for training camp.
