Healthy again
Smith has progressed through the allergy issues he had been dealing with and participated in a mock game on Monday, Jon Machota of The Athletic reports.
ANALYSIS
The problem that cropped up late last week was apparently a minor one, as Smith is already back in pads. He projects to play a significant role on the interior of Dallas' defensive line in 2024.

John McKechnie lays out his first-round mock for the NFL Draft, including a Bijan Robinson landing spot that could shake up the fantasy landscape.
2023 Fantasy Outlook
Taken 26th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft, Smith potentially gives the Cowboys something they're been lacking in recent years - a big, physical presence in the middle of the defensive line who can both stuff the run and collapse the pocket. The Michigan product has drawn Dontari Poe comparisons due to his size and athleticism, but he will likely need to improve his technique to become a consistent asset on passing downs.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Vote of confidence from owner
Despite Smith's low usage and slow start to the season, he's been praised by teammates and team decision makers like owner/general manager Jerry Jones, Anthony Licciardi of SI.com reports.
ANALYSIS
The Cowboys took Smith 26th overall in the 2023 NFL Draft with the vision that he would be in a position to immediately contribute alongside Micah Parsons and Demarcus Lawrence on the defensive front. Smith has just 36 defensive snaps over three contests this season, and while it has been a concern raised by fans, Jones said Smith is an "outstanding football player that has some of the most unique football attributes that have ever been put on the field," during a Friday appearance on "105.3 The Fan." Smith has accumulated three tackles in limited action as he works behind Johnathan Hankins and Osa Odighizuwa at defensive tackle.
