His absence hits hard, especially for Dak Prescott, who thrives in the pocket—where Smith’s presence helped shield him from pressure. The burden now falls on undrafted rookie T.J. Bass, a reliable backup with strong coaching confidence and experience playing alongside top linemen. The Cowboys are counting on Bass to step up and keep the line intact while Smith recovers—though concerns linger about his return strength.
