In the Cowboys’ victory over the Lions on Saturday, Tyler Smith, the left guard, tore his plantar fascia entirely. However, this might possibly improve his chances of playing against the Commanders in Week 18.
Smith won’t be out of the season finale, according to head coach Mike McCarthy, who stated on Monday that he “would agree” with the theory that players can usually play through full plantar fascia tears rather than partial ones.
McCarthy stated on the team’s website, “He’s sore.” We’re going to learn more on Wednesday. It has been said that he has a chance.
Smith appears to be a candidate for the first round of the playoffs, even if he is not selected to play this week. Defensive lineman Jonathan Hankins seems to be in the same situation as well; McCarthy stated that Hankins should practice this week following his three-game absence due to an ankle injury.
