Tyron Smith Exits Cowboys Practice with Knee Injury, Will Undergo MRI

According to Charean Williams of Pro FootballTalk, Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith left Wednesday's practice with a knee injury and will have an exam to determine the severity of the injury.

Smith grabbed his knee after barely touching another player during practice. Trainers helped him leave the field.

He grunted like he usually does. I can decipher his grunts when I'm next to him. McGovern said he thought he was all right.

Smith'sACL is intact after initial review, which is good news for the Cowboys as he appears to have avoided a major injury.

Smith had an ankle injury that he had to deal with in joint practices with the Broncos.

The eight-time Pro Bowler had a long history of injuries and was often not a full participant in practices because of knee and ankle injuries.

Smith missed two games because of ankle issues.

He played in two games because of neck injuries. Since 2015, he has not played a full season.

While injuries have slowed him down, he's still one of the best left tackles in the league, having earned eight Pro Bowl selections over his 11-year career.

The Cowboys decided to part ways with veteran La'el Collins earlier this year. If Smith is hurt, Josh Ball, Matt Waletzko, and Aviante Collins could get more playing time.

The regular season begins with a game between the Cowboys and the Bucs.
