FRISCO – The Dallas Cowboys were pretty much all smiles as they returned to the practice field on Wednesday afternoon – but did so inside Ford Center due to high winds in the backyard at The Star – with good health a reason for the optimistic mood.

Four key names worth watching … which we (and owner Jerry Jones) did in our observation of practice in anticipation of the playoff opener against the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at AT&T Stadium?

Starting left guard Tyler Smith, who missed the regular-season finale against the Washington Commanders after tearing his plantar fascia in the Week 17 win over the Detroit Lions, was back on the practice field on Wednesday and listed as “limited.”

There is anticipation of him playing on Sunday.
