Cowboys Lose Smith, Get Tomlinson | Sports News

Backup Nick Leverett steps in from the practice squad, while T.J. Bass takes over as starter. Veteran Laken Tomlinson—former first-round pick and Pro Bowler—joins the practice squad to add depth. With Smith’s absence impacting their explosive offense led by Dak Prescott and CeeDee Lamb, the team’s quick moves will be crucial as they navigate without him until at least the Buccaneers game on October 8th.
