Dallas Cowboys starting left tackle Tyron Smith did not practice on Wednesday and Byron Bell took reps with the first team as his replacement according to Drew Davison of the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.
Smith missed last week's loss to the Atlanta Falcons with a groin injury and Chaz Green was demolished in his place, allowing six of the eight sacks on quarterback Dak Prescott. Smith's absence from practice is not a good sign for this Sunday's key NFC East divisional game against the Philadelphia Eagles and head coach Jason Garrett admits that Smith's status for SNF is questionable at best. Bell, a six-year NFL veteran out of New Mexico, started 17 games including the playoffs at left tackle for the Panthers in 2014. There is no way the Cowboys can risk the health of their franchise QB again with Green against the fearsome blitz of the Eagles so Bell appears to be the next man up.
