2. Tyron Smith Makes Significant Progress

The plan that came out last week for Tyron Smith was that he would return to practice with the team this week in order to gauge how far away he is from getting on the field. His teammates and coaches have been saying how good he’s looked working on the side with the Dallas Cowboys’ Director of Rehabilitation Britt Brown.

After the injury he suffered right before the start of the season, many thought he wouldn’t be back until possibly the playoffs, but depending on how he looks in practice, he could suit up sooner than we thought.

I have a feeling that he will suit up for the Texans game, and while he may not start immediately, as owner Jerry Jones has alluded to the past few weeks, I believe he will take some in-game reps.

Live action is really the only way to test his recovery, and I’d rather do it against a weaker defense than one with top-tier pass rushers on the edge.

Game Prediction: Tyron Smith plays about 10 offensive snaps against the Texans in preparation for him starting in Week 15
