FRISCO, Texas — Cowboys teammates were stopped in their tracks Wednesday evening when left tackle Tyron Smith gave what the team very cautiously believes was a scare.
Smith appeared to take a misstep while running to deliver a second-level block on linebacker Leighton Vander Esch. He injured his left knee, falling to the ground and lying there about a minute during a practice inside Ford Center at The Star. A visibly frustrated Smith walked off the field under his own power, a small convoy beside him that included head athletic trainer Jim Maurer.
Smith will undergo an MRI but there is initial belief he avoided anything serious, a person familiar with the situation said.
