Mazi Smith To Miss Preseason Game Against Raiders Due to Allergic Reaction

3 months ago

Cowboys defensive lineman Mazi Smith (allergy) will miss the team's preseason game against the Raiders in Las Vegas as he continues to recover from an allergic reaction he experienced on Friday. Smith, the Cowboys' 2023 first-round pick, impressed coaches with his performance in the preseason opener against the Rams, where he showcased his ability to excel in a traditional nose tackle role under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer. Last season, Smith started just three games, played 28 percent of the defensive snaps, and recorded 13 tackles and one sack. However, he has shown significant improvement during the offseason and training camp, recording three tackles in 20 snaps during the first preseason game. Despite the Cowboys' addition of defensive tackle Jordan Phillips, expectations for Smith this season remain high.
