Smith was injured during the second half of Dallas’ 42-21 win over the Detroit Lions on Monday night during a downfield block.

Smith told the Fort Worth Star-Telegram after the game that he was “all right,” and owner Jerry Jones echoed that sentiment.

“He’s fine,” Jones said. “He told me after that he was fine. The trainers did too.”

Smith has been named to the Pro Bowl each of the past four seasons -- including this year -- and has been a key cog in the the Cowboys’ vaunted offensive line.
