Tyler Smith - NFL News, Rumors, & Updates

Could return in Week 5 Smith (thumb) could return for the Cowboys' Week 5 matchup against the Buccaneers, Todd Archer of ESPN.com reports.

Impact Smith continues to work back from a procedure to fix a thumb injury he suffered near the start of the regular season. The left guard could return in Week 5, but the short lead-up to Thursday's game could set the 25-year-old back another week. Once Smith returns, T.J. Bass should revert to his role as a depth piece for the Cowboys' offensive line.

Impact Smith is scheduled to miss 4-to-6 weeks to recover from a procedure on his injured thumb. He'll be required to miss at least the Cowboys' next four games, so the earliest that the fifth-year offensive lineman can play is Week 5 against the Buccaneers on Thursday, Oct. 8. T.J.
