Dallas Cowboys defensive tackle Mazi Smith has suffered an allergic reaction and will sit out the preseason game against the Raiders as he recovers.
Coaches have praised Mazi Smith for his performance in the preseason opener last week, indicating he fits well in the nose tackle role under new defensive coordinator Mike Zimmer.
Despite Mazi Smith's impressive recovery, the Cowboys acquired veteran Jordan Phillips, not due to dissatisfaction with Smith, but to enhance their defensive line options.
Smith had a difficult rookie season with low confidence and limited impact on the field, playing only four snaps in a key playoff loss.
