It was quite a surprise when the Cowboys offense took the field on Thanksgiving, and #75 was lined up at left tackle. After three limited practices prior to the Redskins game, everyone had a good feeling left tackle Tyron Smith would be ready for the game against the Redskins. Even up until kickoff, there were no real worries that Smith would be inactive, or unavailable. That all changed once we saw Smith on the sideline with a huge brace on his elbow, and no helmet in sight. He was inactive.
