Jerry Jones 'recebeu as melhores notícias' no tornozelo de Tyron Smith

Jerry Jones admitted Tuesday that it’s “unlikely” left tackleTyron Smithwill play this week against theGreen Bay Packers, but theDallas Cowboysowner likes the rest of what he heard regarding Smith’s ankle injury.

“We got the best news we could possibly get,” Jones said on 105.3 The Fan in Dallas,via Jon Machota of The Athletic. “We couldn’t have asked for better news. Looking forward to having him back out there quick.”

Jones’ comments mesh with NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport’s report Monday that Smith might only miss one week with the ankle injury.

Smith was injured late in the fourth quarter Sunday night against theNew Orleans Saintswhen quarterbackDak Prescottwas sacked and fell onto the left tackle’s leg. Backup tackleCameron Flemingreplaced Smith for the rest of the game.

Not having Smith against the NFC North-leadingPackersis a blow for theCowboys, but the prognosis that the left tackle likely won’t be out long is positive news long term for Dallas.
