Overview
- ESPN’s Todd Archer reported Smith had a minor right‑knee cleanup after the Pro Bowl and is expected to be 100% for the April offseason program.
- Smith managed the issue during the season, dressing but not playing against the Jets as he finished the year.
- At the NFL combine, Adams said keeping Smith with Cooper Beebe and Tyler Booker inside is one of Dallas’s biggest strengths.
- Smith shifted to left tackle late in 2025 after Tyler Guyton’s ankle injury, and coaches framed that as a short‑term move to field their best five while Guyton develops.
- A three‑time Pro Bowler and 2023 All‑Pro, Smith signed a four‑year, $96 million extension in 2025 and has publicly said he identifies as a guard.
