Report: Cowboys LT Tyron Smith tears hamstring, out months

FRISCO, Texas (AP) — ESPN is reporting that Dallas Cowboys left tackle Tyron Smith has a torn left hamstring and could be sidelined for months. Smith was injured during 11-on-11 drills in practice Wednesday night when the eight-time Pro Bowler went to engage linebacker Leighton Vander Esch about 5 yards downfield before crumpling to the turf. He walked off the field without help. The team initially said on its website Smith had a knee injury and an MRI was planned. ESPN later reported the hamstring injury. Smith has been hampered by injuries in recent years. He hasn’t played a full season since 2015.
