Mazi Smith News
Dallas Cowboys nose tackle Mazi Smith (shoulder) carried a four- to six-month timetable after having shoulder surgery shortly after last season, but he is expected to be ready for training camp this summer. As long as Smith doesn't encounter any setbacks as he rehabs his shoulder this offseason, the 22-year-old should be ready for training camp at the end of the July and for the start of the 2024 season. After being taken 26th overall in the first round last year out of Michigan, Smith played in all 17 regular-season games (three starts) and recorded only 13 tackles (nine solo) and one sack in a depth role. He could carve out a bigger role on the interior of Dallas' defensive line in Year 2, but Smith isn't going to be on the fantasy radar in IDP leagues.
Dallas Cowboys first-round rookie defensive tackle Mazi Smith (knee) underwent an MRI exam on Tuesday after having dealt with knee discomfort in training camp. "He's fine," said a person familiar with the situation. Smith might miss some more time in camp this summer until he feels better, but the 22-year-old still has plenty of time to get ready for the start of the regular season. The 26th overall selection in this year's draft was selected with hopes that he can immediately improve Dallas' poor run defense up the middle. Smith is big and athletic and can also help rush the passer. He should be starting right away on the Cowboys' defensive line in 2023.
Dallas Cowboys defensive lineman Mazi Smith (knee) is not practicing on Tuesday. The 2023 first-round pick is dealing with tendinitis and is getting a precautionary MRI on his knee. The Michigan product earned First-Team All-Big-10 honors in 2022 after totaling 48 tackles and 2.5 tackles for loss. He's expected to be a high-end run-stuffer immediately for Dallas, assuming his knee checks out and he's good to go for the regular season. Until we have further updates, he can be considered day-to-day.
