The Dallas Cowboys are bringing guard Tyler Smith back from injured reserve ahead of Thursday night’s matchup with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, though his availability for the game remains uncertain because of a thumb injury.
Key takeaways
- Dallas has activated Tyler Smith from injured reserve.
- Smith is listed as questionable for Thursday night against Tampa Bay.
- The Cowboys also elevated wide receiver Bryce Oliver from the practice squad.
Cowboys add potential help up front
Smith’s activation gives Dallas a chance to restore a key piece of its offensive line for the Buccaneers game. The guard had been on injured reserve while recovering from a thumb issue.
His questionable designation means the Cowboys will make a final determination closer to kickoff. If Smith is cleared to play, Dallas would regain an experienced starting lineman for a prime-time divisional test against Tampa Bay.
Oliver joins active roster
Dallas also promoted wide receiver Bryce Oliver from its practice squad. The move provides additional depth at receiver as the Cowboys prepare for Thursday night.
