Smith suffered a concussion as a result of the hit. But on Thanksgiving Day, it happened, and he wound up with a concussion after being hit in the third quarter of the Cowboys' loss to the Minnesota Vikings.
Some people call it a concussion.
Smith didn't practice Monday, but ran some sprints and expects to go through a full practice when the Cowboys return to the field Wednesday. He said there is no doubt that he will be in the lineup Sunday at Tampa Bay. Smith, who has missed only three games in his career because of injury, and coach Dave Campo said that the running back was held out of practice for precautionary reasons. We were going to do some hitting out there with pads on, so we felt for a precautionary reason to keep him out of there. He should be fine for the game.
